Abstract:
Eleven formyl-containing BODIPY dyes were prepared by means of either the Liebeskind-Srogl cross-coupling reaction or the Vilsmeier reaction. These dyes were used as components in the Passerini reaction to give highly substituted BODIPY dyes. A joined spectroscopic and theoretical characterization of the synthesized compounds was conducted to unravel the impact of the structural rigidity/flexibility on the photophysical signatures. These dyes were tested as fluorescent trackers for phagocytosis. Additionally, they proved to be useful to stain different blood cells with an intense and stable signal at a very low exposure time.

Phase II Reactions: Miscellaneous Conjugation Reactions
A key example involves the conjugation of cyanide ions, which impair cellular respiration and alter hemoglobin into non-oxygen-carrying cyanmethemoglobin. To neutralize this threat, a sulfur atom from thiosulphate is transferred to the cyanide ion, catalyzed by the enzyme rhodanese, resulting in an inactive compound called thiocyanate. The production of...
