In this paper we report on a novel fluorescent core skeleton, 9-aryl-1,2-dihydropyrrolo[3,4-b]indolizin-3-one, which we named Seoul-Fluor, having tunable and predictable photophysical properties. Using a concise and practical one-pot synthetic procedure, a 68-member library of new fluorescent compounds was synthesized with diverse substituents. In Seoul-Fluor, the electronic characteristics of the substituents, as well as their positional changes, have a close correlation with their photophysical properties. The systematic perturbation of electronic densities on the specific positions of Seoul-Fluor, guided with the Hammett constant, allows emission wavelength tunability covering the full color range. On the basis of these observations and a computational analysis, we extracted a simple first-order correlation of photophysical properties with the theoretical calculation and accurately predicted the emission wavelength of Seoul-Fluors through the rational design. In this study, we clearly demonstrate that Seoul-Fluor can provide a powerful gateway for the generation of desired fluorescent probes without the need for a tiresome synthesis and trial-and-error process.

Propenyl- and allyl-phenols, such as methylchavicol, p-anol and eugenol, have gained importance as flavoring agents and also as putative precursors in the biosynthesis of 9,9′-deoxygenated lignans, many of which have potential medicinal applications. In spite of several decades of investigation, however, the complete biosynthetic pathway to a propenyl/allylphenol had not yet been reported. We have subjected a Thai basil variety accumulating relatively large amounts of the simplest volatile allylphenol, methylchavicol, to in vivo administration of radiolabeled precursors and assays of protein preparations in vitro. Through these experiments, the biosynthesis of chavicol was shown to occur via the phenylpropanoid pathway to p-coumaryl alcohol. Various possibilities leading to deoxygenation of the latter were examined, including reduction of the side-chain double bond to form p-dihydrocoumaryl alcohol, followed by dehydration to afford chavicol, as well as formation of p-methoxycinnamyl alcohol, with further side-chain modification to afford methylchavicol. A third possibility studied was activation of the side-chain alcohol of p-coumaryl alcohol, e.g. via esterification, to form a more facile leaving group via reductive elimination. The latter was shown to be the case using p-coumaryl esters as potential substrates for a NAD(P)H-dependent reductase to afford chavicol, which is then O-methylated to afford methylchavicol.
