Facile "one pot" route to the novel benzazulene-type dye class: asymmetric, derivatizable, 5-7-6 fused ring puckered half BODIPY design.
A novel fluorescent difluoroboroazaoxobenzazulene dye has been synthesized from commercially available substrates in "one pot"; it was characterized structurally and spectroscopically, derivatized and finally compared to a related BODIPY system that demonstrates "turn-on" H(+) (42-fold) and F(-) (~5-fold) responses.
