Dehydrogenative Heck coupling of biologically relevant N-heteroarenes with alkenes: discovery of fluorescent core frameworks

Abstract

A Pd/Cu-catalyzed dehydrogenative Heck coupling is established that allows direct alkenylation of various biologically relevant N-heteroarenes with alkenes. The resulting π-extended alkenylated N-heteroarenes exhibit interesting fluorescent properties and have proven to be potentially useful fluorescent probes for bioimaging.
