Abstract
Herein, we describe an original synthetic method for a series of fluorescent thieno[3,2-b]pyridine-5(4H)-one derivatives prepared via the gold(I)-catalyzed 6-endo-dig intramolecular hydrothiophenylation process involving N-thiophen-3-yl alkynylamides. The brightness was improved; emission could be tuned, and larger Stokes shifts were recorded. We also designed and synthesized the phalloidin-based fluorescent chemical probes KF-P1 and KF-P2 to realize fluorescent F-actin imaging.
