Abstract:
We have synthesized a new SNAPFL analogue (1) that exhibits a large Stokes shift (78 nm) (abs. 542 nm, em. 620 nm) and a good quantum yield. Because of the large overlap between the emission spectrum of 1 and the absorption spectrum of Cy5, 1 functions well as a fluorescence donor to Cy5 and has been used in FRET-based experiments using estrogen receptor site-specifically labeled with Cy5 and a receptor ligand conjugated to SNAPFL.

¹H NMR: Long-Range Coupling
In alkenes, spin information is communicated via σ–π overlap, as seen in allylic (four-bond) and homoallylic (five-bond) couplings. These coupling interactions are stronger when the σ bond is parallel to the alkene π orbitals.
Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...

¹H NMR: Complex Splitting
Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied first.
