A modular synthetic strategy for the preparation of intrinsically fluorescent unnatural α-amino acids by C-2 oxidation and alkenylation of a tryptophan-derived tetrahydro-β-carboline is described. This approach yielded a novel tryptophan-coumarin hybrid with strong environmental sensitivity and compatibility with near-infrared two-photon excitation.
本文描述了一种模块化合成策略,用于通过色氨酸衍生的四氢-β-咔啉的C-2氧化和烯基化反应制备具有内在荧光的非天然α-氨基酸。该方法产生了一种新型的色氨酸-香豆素杂化物,具有很强的环境敏感性且与近红外双光子激发兼容。
