BCl3 -Activated Synthesis of COO-BODIPY Laser Dyes: General Scope and High Yields under Mild Conditions. J Org Chem 2020; 85: 4594–4601. [DOI: 10.1021/acs.joc.9b03059]0022-3263 (Print) 1520-6904(Online)10.1021/acs.joc.9b03059https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/8663A general and straightforward method for the synthesis of COO-BODIPYs from F-BODIPYs and carboxylic acids is established. The method is based on the use of boron trichloride to activate the involved substitution of fluorine, which leads to high yields through rapid reactions under soft conditions. This mild method opens the way to unprecedented laser dyes with outstanding efficiencies and photostabilities, which are difficult to obtain by the current methods.engjournal articlehttps://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acs.joc.9b03059https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7272132/https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=32138513restricted access550.43544.53543.544547-32COO-BODIPYLaser dyesPhotostabilitiesChromatographyDyes and pigmentsLasersOrganic acidsSilicaMaterialesQuímica orgánica (Química)Láseres3312 Tecnología de Materiales2306 Química Orgánica2209.10 Láseres
