title: Construction of a library of rhodol fluorophores for developing new fluorescent probes.
abstract: A highly efficient and concise synthetic scheme for rhodol fluorophores is developed with palladium-catalyzed amination reaction as the key step. This new synthetic route is utilized to construct a rhodol library, potentially useful for the design of novel fluorescent probes.
