A novel diphenylmaleimide dye for fluorescence photopatterned images
A novel fluorescent diphenylmaleimide dye, 1-BOC, can be converted into non-fluorescent 1-OH by the deprotection of the tert-butyloxycarbonyl group of 1-BOC with photogenerated acid, which makes 1-BOC of an useful material for fluorescence images patterned by a photolithographic method based on chemical amplification concept.
