A series of pH-activatable aza-BODIPY-based fluorescent probes were developed for rapid cancer visualization and real-time fluorescence-guided surgery by harnessing topical spraying. These probes exhibited good water-solubility, a tunable pKafrom 5.0 to 7.9, and stable intense NIR emission at ～725 nm under acidic conditions.AzaB5with a pKavalue of 6.7 was able to rapidly and clearly visualize pulmonary and abdominal metastatic tumours including tiny metastases less than 2 mmviatopical spraying, further improving intraoperative fluorescence-guided resection. We believe thatAzaB5is promising as a powerful tool to rapidly delineate a broad range of malignancies and assist surgical tumour resection.

Manganese(II) chloride-catalyzed acetylation of alcohols, phenols thiols and amines with acetic anhydride is reported. This method is environment-friendly and economically viable as it involves inexpensive, relatively benign catalyst, mild reaction condition, and simple workup. Acetylation is performed under the solvent-free condition at ambient temperature and acetylated products obtained in good to excellent yields. Primary, secondary heterocyclic amines, and phenols with various functional groups are smoothly acetylated in good yields. This method exhibits exquisite chemoselectivity, the amino group is preferentially acetylated in the presence of a hydroxyl/thiol group.

Fluorogenic probes are invaluable tools for spatiotemporal investigations within live cells. In common fluorogenic probes, the intrinsic fluorescence of a small-molecule fluorophore is masked by esterification until entry into a cell, where endogenous esterases catalyze the hydrolysis of the masking groups, generating fluorescence. The susceptibility of masking groups to spontaneous hydrolysis is a major limitation of these probes. Previous attempts to address this problem have incorporated auto-immolative linkers at the cost of atom economy and synthetic adversity. Here, we report on a linker-free strategy that employs adventitious electronic and steric interactions in easy-to-synthesize probes. We find that X···C = O n→π? interactions and acyl group size are optimized in 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein diisobutyrate. This probe is relatively stable to spontaneous hydrolysis but is a highly reactive substrate for esterases both in vitro and in cellulo, yielding a bright, photostable fluorophore with utility in biomolecular imaging.
