Abstract
A cyanide anion (CN(-))-triggered deprotection of NH-protected phenothiazine, (E)-10-(10H-phenothiazin-3'-yl)propenal, has been discovered as a novel mechanism for the highly selective fluorescence detection of CN(-) under ambient conditions. The present protocol may pave the way for its broad application in organic synthesis in the near future.
