Abstract:
A fluorescent cyclotriveratrylene 1 was synthesized and characterized in methanol and water. Soluble in pure water and physiological media, compound 1 has binding properties towards acetylcholine. This detection is direct, contrary to most fluorescent systems which rely upon a competition principle between the guest and a fluorophore.
