It has been demonstrated that this reagent can oxidize methyl groups at such position of the BODIPY core, regardless of its substitution pattern. Moreover, through this procedure it is possible to synthesize 8-aryl-3,5-diformylBODIPYs, which are otherwise difficult to obtain. These precursors have been functionalized to develop fluorescent sensors of amino acids or photosensitizers for singlet oxygen generation.engjournal articlehttp://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acs.orglett.9b01465https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.orglett.9b01465restricted access547.1543.426FormylBODIPYsMethylBODIPYsBODIPYsFluorescence sensorsPhotosensitizersQuímica orgánica (Química)2306 Química Orgánica
