BN-Phenanthrene- and BN-Pyrene-Based Fluorescent Uridine Analogues
Michael Müller, Hermann Neitz, Claudia Höbartner, Holger Helten
Abstract
Two unprecedented fluorescent nucleosides that feature BN-doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are presented. One of them, having a BN-modified phenanthrene moiety incorporated, shows blue fluorescence but suffers from poor stability under aqueous conditions. The other nucleoside comprises an internally BN-doped pyrene as the chromophore. It shows green fluorescence in various solvents and is stable under aqueous and alkaline conditions.
