Abstract

4,4-Difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacenes (F-BODIPYs) are deprotected through removal of the –BF2 moiety upon treatment with methylboronic acid. The tolerance of various substitution patterns about the dipyrrinato core is demonstrated via the deprotection of thirteen F-BODIPYs and an F-aza-BODIPY. Work-up with aq. HBr affords the desired dipyrrin HBr salt in quantitative yield without need for purification.
