Abstract
Abstract 4,4-Difluoro-4-bora-1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-2,6-diethyl-8-methyl-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) fluorophore was transformed into its corresponding 4,4-dimethyl, 4,4-dimethoxy and 4,4-diphenyl analogues. The stabilities of these BODIPY fluorophores in acidic (di- and trichloroacetic acid) and basic conditions (aqueous ammonium hydroxide) were investigated using 11B NMR spectroscopy.
