title: One-Pot Synthesis of Rotationally Restricted, Conjugatable, BODIPY Derivatives from Phthalides.
abstract: O-Ethylation of phthalides with Meerwein's reagent followed by reaction of the ensuing salts with pyrrole, results in the formation of 5-alkoxy-5-phenyl dipyrromethane derivatives, which function as ready precursors of ortho-substituted 8-aryl BODIPY derivatives by reaction with borontrifluoride etherate, an overall process that can be carried out in a one-pot operation.
