A novel hydrazino-substituted naphthalimide-based fluorogenic probe for tert-butoxy radicals†
Abstract
A novel fluorogenic probe for tert-butoxy radicals based on the hydrazino-naphthalimide system is reported. Interestingly, different regioisomers exhibited significantly different optical properties toward ROS, which suggested 4-hydrazinyl naphthalimide as a potential new platform for the in vitro and in cellulo detection of alkoxyl radicals.
