This reaction is an interesting synthetic tool in BODIPY chemistry, mainly because it allows a valuable regioselective postfunctionalization of BODIPY chromophores with different functional groups. In this way, functional patterns that are difficult to obtain by other procedures (e.g., asymmetrically functionalized BODIPYs involving halogenated positions) can now be made. The regioselectivity is achieved by controlling the reaction conditions and is based on almost-general reactivity preferences, and the nature of the involved halogens and their positions. This ability is exemplified by the preparation of a series of new BODIPY dyes with unprecedented substitution patterns allowing noticeable lasing properties.engjournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1021/acs.joc.6b00350http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acs.joc.6b00350https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27055068restricted access547.1544.478Negishi reactionhaloBODIPYBODIPY chemistryPalladiumLasersQuímica orgánica (Química)2306 Química Orgánica
