Abstract

Benzophenone antenna-sensitised 1-acyl-7-nitroindolines show a significantly enhanced extent of photochemical cleavage in aqueous solution over their non-sensitised analogues and release the carboxylate derived from their 1-acyl group. The present work investigates length and functional group effects in the linker between the benzophenone sensitiser and the nitroindoline and concurrently establishes a more efficient synthetic route to an ...
