- SELECTIVE FLUORESCENT PROBE FOR ALDEHYDE DEHYDROGENASE
-
High aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) activity has emerged as a reliable marker for the identification of both normal and cancer stem cells. Herein, is presented AlDeSense, a turn-on green fluorescent probe for aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) and Ctrl-AlDeSense, a matching non-responsive reagent. AlDeSense exhibits a 20-fold fluorescent enhancement when treated with ALDH1A1. Through the application of surface marker antibody staining, tumorsphere assays, and assessment of tumorigenicity, the disclosed results show that cells exhibiting high AlDeSense signal intensity have properties of cancer stem cells. Herein, is also reported the development of a red congener, red-AlDeSense. Importantly, red-AlDeSense represents one of only a few examples of a turn-on sensor in the red region using the d-PeT quenching mechanism.

- Pd-Catalyzed, ortho C-H Methylation and Fluorination of Benzaldehydes Using Orthanilic Acids as Transient Directing Groups
-
The direct, Pd-catalyzed ortho C-H methylation and fluorination of benzaldehydes have been accomplished using commercially available orthanilic acids as transient directing groups. In these reactions, the 1-fluoro-2,4,6-trimethylpyridinium salts can be either a bystanding F+ oxidant or an electrophilic fluorinating reagent. An X-ray crystal structure of a benzaldehyde ortho C-H palladation intermediate was obtained using triphenylphosphine as the stabilizing ligand.
