[reaction: see text] A phenylboronic acid derivative of a well-known dye (Lucifer yellow) recognizes L-DOPA through a combination of reversible esterification, charge transfer, and electrostatic interactions. The selective recognition event is signaled by a drop in the emission intensity of the fluorescent chemosensor.
