A series of new benzoxazolylalanine derivatives bearing (oligo)thiophene units at the side chain were synthesized in good yields. The photophysical characterization of these amino acids was performed by UV-vis absorption and fluorescence emission studies and revealed that some of the compounds display high fluorescent quantum yields, making them good candidates for application as fluorescent probes.
Graphical abstractNew fluorescent benzoxazolylalanine derivatives bearing (oligo)thiophene units at the side chain were synthesized in good yields. Evaluation of the photophysical properties of the synthesized amino acids revealed that some of the derivatives display high fluorescent quantum yields, making them good candidates for application as fluorescent probes.Download full-size image
