We report a new synthetic route to a series of α-carboxynitrobenzyl photocaged l-aspartates for application in time-resolved structural biology. The resulting compounds were characterised in terms of UV/Vis absorption properties, aqueous solubility and stability, and photocleavage rates (τ = μs to ms) and quantum yields (φ = 0.05 to 0.14).

Caging of the amidinium moieties of two representative bisbenzamidine DNA binders with suitable photoresponsive protecting groups suppresses their DNA-binding, which can then be fully recovered upon irradiation with UV light that removes the caging groups
Non-photochemical rearrangements of o-nitrobenzyl compounds

Three rearrangements of 2-nitrobenzyl compounds with increasingly complex structural changes are described. The first is a remarkably facile conversion of 2-nitrobenzyl triflate to 2-nitrosobenzaldehyde. The second is an unexpected formation of 1-acetyl-2
