We synthesized ridaifen-B boron dipyrromethene () using 2-methyl-6-nitro benzoic anhydride (MNBA)-mediated dehydration condensation reaction between amino alkyl-tethered RID and BODIPY FL. Comparative experiments between dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) and MNBA for their coupling reactions demonstrated that MNBA is an effective condensation reagent for amines and BODIPY FL. A cell staining study with showed intracellular localization of BODIPY FL fluorescence, attributed to the structure, indicating the successful development of a tool for analyzing intracellular molecular behavior efficiently.
