Abstract

Abstract Aiming at the development of new benzopyran-based photocleavable protecting groups, novel chloromethylated and hydroxymethylated 2-oxo-2 H-benzo [h] benzopyran derivatives bearing a methoxy substituent were designed and used in the synthesis of a series of fluorescent bioconjugates, by linking through an ester or urethane bond to several model neurotransmitter amino acids (glycine, alanine, β-alanine and γ-aminobutyric acid, ...
