Synthesis of BODIPY dyes through postfunctionalization of the boron dipyrromethene core
Open accessAbstract
Abstract Fluorophores based on the 4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (aka boron dipyrromethene, boron dipyrrin, or BODIPY) platform have found diverse applications in different fields of modern science, medicine and (bio)technology. In this review we describe the numerous postfunctionalization methodologies of the boron dipyrromethene core designed and realized by research groups around the globe. In the postfunctionalization approach, boron dipyrromethenes with reactive functionalities attached directly to the core (halogen or hydrogen atoms, methyl, formyl, or alkylthio groups) are used as starting materials for further derivatization. The various synthetic methods towards these starting compounds and their postmodification are reviewed. We discuss the different strategies devised for postderivatization of the BODIPY nucleus at all possible positions (the pyrrole carbons, the meso-carbon, and the boron atom) and compare them concisely with the standard prefunctionalization methodology. Important properties and applications of a number of substituted BODIPYs made by the methods described in this review are also presented.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
