Microwave-Assisted Click Chemistry for the Preparation of 3- and 4-Triazolyl-2(1H)-quinolones as Potential Fluorescent Probes

A direct synthetic route to fused tricyclic quinolones from 2,3-diaminoquinolin-4(1H)one

Fused tricyclic heterocycles are useful compounds in many areas of chemistry. In this study, 2,3-diaminoquinolin-4(1

Rapid synthesis, screening, and identification of xanthone- and xanthene-based fluorophores using click chemistry

A panel of new fluorophores with emission wavelengths from blue to yellow regions using the Cu(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of alkyne-functionalized xanthones and xanthenes with various azides have been synthesized. Screening of the "click" products led to the identification of "hit" fluorophores which showed a fluorescence increase upon triazole formation. These novel "click" fluorophores could potentially be used for bioconjugation and bioimaging purposes.
