A novel method for the synthesis of 1,2-benzisoxazoline-3-one and its application to hypochlorite recognition†
Abstract
The reaction of salicylhydroxamic acid with hypochlorite produces 1,2-benzisoxazoline-3-one, a heterocycle that contains a fluorophore. As a result, this reaction was used as the basis for a new, selective and sensitive fluorescence system for the recognition of hypochlorite. The effectiveness of the method was demonstrated by its use to detect hypochlorite in a disinfectant solution as well as to image hypochlorite in cells.
