Carbon monoxide (CO) is a cell-signaling molecule (gasotransmitter) produced endogenously by oxidative catabolism of heme, and the understanding of its spatial and temporal sensing at the cellular level is still an open challenge. Synthesis, optical properties, and study of the sensing mechanism of Nile red Pd-based CO chemosensors, structurally modified by core and bridge substituents, in methanol and aqueous solutions are reported in this work. The sensing fluorescence "off-on" response of palladacycle-based sensors possessing low-background fluorescence arises from their reaction with CO to release the corresponding highly fluorescent Nile red derivatives in the final step. Our mechanistic study showed that electron-withdrawing and electron-donating core substituents affect the rate-determining step of the reaction. More importantly, the substituents were found to have a substantial effect on the Nile red sensor fluorescence quantum yields, hereby defining the sensing detection limit. The highest overall fluorescence and sensing rate enhancements were found for a 2-hydroxy palladacycle derivative, which was used in subsequent biological studies on mouse hepatoma cells as it easily crosses the cell membrane and qualitatively traces the localization of CO within the intracellular compartment with the linear quantitative response to increasing CO concentrations.
Fluoronaphthalene building blocks via arynes: A solution to the problem of positional selectivity

When 3-fluoro- and 3-chloro-1,2-didehydrobenzenes are generated in the presence of 2-(trimethylsilyl)furan, two regioisomeric cycloadducts are formed in a 1:2 ratio. However, regioselectivity can be installed by fitting one bulky trimethylsilyl group into sterically critical positions of each of the two reaction components. Thus 3-fluoro-6-trimethylsilyl-1,2-didehydrobenzene and 2-(trimethylsilyl)furan give one cycloadduct exclusively. In this way, the Diels-Alder reaction between suitably adorned arynes and similarly designed furans can open an entry to naphthalene derivatives that have unprecedented substituent patterns that qualify them as building blocks for pharmaceutical or agricultural research. The acid-catalyzed isomerization of model 1,4-epoxy-1,4-dihydronaphthalenes, the aryne/furan cycloadducts, exhibits unexpected effects on rates and regioselectivity. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
