Imidazo-benzocrown ether functionalised amino acids: synthesis and fluorimetric chemosensing studies with metal cations

Comunicação em painel - P59Our research group has been engaged on the synthesis and evaluation of fluorimetric chemosensors for anions and cations based on heterocycles and amino acids and their application as fluorescent markers and fluorimetric probes for metal ions [3]. We now report the synthesis of new fluorescent imidazo-benzocrown ether functionalised amino acids and their evaluation as fluorescent chemosensors for biologically relevant metal cations.Fundação para a Ciência e TecnologiaAckowledgements: Thanks are due to Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT-Portugal) and FEDER-COMPETE for financial support through Centro de Química [PEst-C/QUI/UI0686/2013 (FCOMP-01-0124-FEDER-037302] and a PhD grant to C.I.C.
