Fluorescent coumarins are an important class of small-molecule organic fluorophores ubiquitous in different well-established and emerging fields of research including, among others, biochemistry and chemical biology. The present work aims at covering the poor detectability of coumarin-based conjugates by mass spectrometry while keeping important photophysical properties of the coumarin core. In this context, the synthesis of readily functionalizable phosphonium-tagged coumarin derivatives enabling a dual mass-tag and fluorescence labelling of analytes or (bio)molecules of interest through a single-step protocol, is reported. The utility of these coumarins is illustrated through the preparation of fluorogenic substrates that facilitated identification of the peptide fragment released by specific proteolytic cleavages.
