A series of pH-activatable aza-BODIPY-based fluorescent probes were developed for rapid cancer visualization and real-time fluorescence-guided surgery by harnessing topical spraying. These probes exhibited good water-solubility, a tunable pKafrom 5.0 to 7.9, and stable intense NIR emission at ～725 nm under acidic conditions.AzaB5with a pKavalue of 6.7 was able to rapidly and clearly visualize pulmonary and abdominal metastatic tumours including tiny metastases less than 2 mmviatopical spraying, further improving intraoperative fluorescence-guided resection. We believe thatAzaB5is promising as a powerful tool to rapidly delineate a broad range of malignancies and assist surgical tumour resection.
A general strategy to optimize the performance of aza-BODIPY-based probes for enhanced photoacoustic properties

In this chapter, we describe a generalizable strategy to obtain a high PA output platform that is optimized for ratiometric imaging. Our approach entails conformationally restricting pendant aryl rings on the aza-BODIPY core to enhance orbital overlap which consequently increases the extinction coefficient. This strategy can potentially be applied to other dye platforms to enhance their signal intensity. We provide detailed protocols for the synthesis, in vitro characterization, and in vivo application.

Photoacoustic (PA) dyes, which absorb near-infrared (NIR) light to generate an ultrasonic signal, can be detected at centimeter depths in tissues with significantly higher resolution than dyes imaged with fluorescence-based methods. As such, PA agents show great promise as research tools for the study of live-animal disease models. However, the development of activatable PA probes has been hampered by the relative scarcity of appropriate PA-active molecular platforms with properties that can be manipulated in a rational manner. Herein we synthesized and evaluated six modifications to the aza-BODIPY dye platform with respect to their absorbance, fluorescence, and PA properties. We identified a promising conformationally restricted aza-BODIPY (CRaB) scaffold that prioritizes three criteria necessary for the design of stimulus-responsive dyes with optimal ratiometric PA response: absorbance at NIR wavelengths, strong PA intensity, and large Δλ upon interaction with the desired stimulus. Using this scaffold, we synthesized three chemically diverse stimulus-responsive PA probes and demonstrated between 2- and 8-fold improvements in theoretical ratiometric response in vitro. This suggests that improvements in PA parameters are generalizable. Finally, we validated the in vitro turnover of each CRaB PA probe and demonstrated the in vivo potential of the CRaB scaffold by direct comparison to an established hypoxia-responsive probe for the detection of tumor hypoxia.

Werner-type transition-metal complexes (WTMC) such as [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2, Cu[(NH3)4]SO4, Mn(acac)3, Ni[(NH3)6]Cl2, Ni[(en)3]S2O3, and Hg[Co(SCN)4] efficiently promote the chemoselective acetylation of phenols and anilines under solvent-free condition. The results of this study clearly shows that the optimal condition for the acetylation of anilines/phenols (1 mmol) (2a–r) with acetic anhydride (1.2 mmol) in the presence of WTMC (1 mmol) and two drops of H3PO4 on heating for 10 min under solvent-free condition gives the corresponding acetanilides/phenyl acetate (3a–r) in good to excellent yield. Furthermore, the method is simple, efficient, chemoselective, and eco-friendly under solvent-free condition for the acetylation of anilines and phenols promoted by WTMC by using acetic anhydrate as the acetylating agent. The simple preparation of the catalyst, easy procedure of the acetylation reaction, and simple work-up indicate the importance of WTMC for such reactions.

Photoacoustic tomography has emerged as a promising alternative to MRI and X-ray scans in the clinical setting due to its ability to afford high-resolution images at depths in the cm range. However, its utility has not been established in the basic research arena owing to a lack of analyte-specific photoacoustic probes. To this end, we have developed acoustogenic probes for copper(II)-1 and -2 (APC-1 and APC-2, a water-soluble congener) for the chemoselective visualization of Cu(II), a metal ion which plays a crucial role in chronic neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. To detect Cu(II), we have equipped both APCs with a 2-picolinic ester sensing module that is readily hydrolyzed in the presence of Cu(II) but not by other divalent metal ions. Additionally, we designed APC-1 and APC-2 explicitly for ratiometric photoacoustic imaging by using an aza-BODIPY dye scaffold exhibiting two spectrally resolved NIR absorbance bands which correspond to the 2-picolinic ester capped and uncapped phenoxide forms. The normalized ratiometric turn-on responses for APC-1 and APC-2 were 89- and 101-fold, respectively.

The present report outlines our efforts toward a simple yet elegant protocol for O-acylation of a wide variety of phenols. This highly enabling and solventless method relies on vinyl acetate as an innocuous acyl donor and DABCO as an organocatalyst. Operational simplicity, excellent yields, higher and faster conversion rates without excess reagents, a simple workup and essentially no need of columns are some of the salient features of the reported protocol.

Esterification of several types of mono-and disubstituted phenols with various mono-and dialkanoyl chlorides was performed in phase-transfer catalysis conditions, using tetrabutylammonium chloride in a mixture of aqueous NaOH and dichloromethane. The process is particularly efficient (almost quantitative yields) as well as rapid (only 5 min reaction time, at a temperature of0°C). Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

A new and efficient dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) process of secondary aromatic alcohols was developed with acid resins as racemization catalysts. Acid resin CD8604 was shown to have excellent racemization activity and good biocompatibility. When employing CD8604 and complex acyl donors as racemization catalyst and acyl donor, respectively, enantiomerically pure aromatic acetate was obtained with excellent yield and ee values through the DKR process. It is noteworthy that the system could be reused more than 10 times with little loss of yield and ee value.
