Installation of a carbanionic substituent, that is strongly stabilized by two (trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl (Tf=SO CF ) groups, into several fluorescence dyes including boron-dipyrromethenes (BODIPYs), fluoresceins, and aminocoumarins has been achieved by the 2,2-bis(triflyl)ethylation reaction of the dye frameworks with highly electrophilic Tf C=CH , followed by neutralization with NaHCO . Despite the contradiction between water solubility and lipophilicity, the carbanion-decorated dyes thus obtained showed significant enhancement of not only water solubility but also lipophilicity. This work clearly demonstrates that the fluorinated, highly stabilized carbanionic substituent is a new option for controlling the macroscopic property of chemical materials.
通过染料骨架与高亲电性的三氟甲基磺酰基乙炔(Tf₂C=CH₂)进行2,2-双(三氟甲磺酰基)乙基化反应,随后用碳酸氢钠中和,已成功地将由两个(三氟甲基)磺酰基(Tf = SO₂CF₃)强烈稳定的碳负离子取代基引入到包括硼二吡咯亚甲基(BODIPY)、荧光素和氨基香豆素在内的几种荧光染料中。尽管水溶性和亲脂性之间存在矛盾,但由此获得的碳负离子修饰染料不仅水溶性显著增强,而且亲脂性也显著增强。这项工作清楚地表明,氟化的、高度稳定的碳负离子取代基是控制化学材料宏观性质的一种新选择。
