Ratiometric analysis of reversible thia-Michael reactions using nitrile-tagged molecules by Raman microscopy†
Abstract
Ratiometric Raman analysis of reversible thia-Michael reactions was achieved using α-cyanoacrylic acid (αCNA) derivatives. Among αCNAs, the smallest derivative, ThioRas (molecular weight: 167 g mol−1), and its glutathione adduct were simultaneously detected in various subcellular locations using Raman microscopy.
