2-(N-Acyl-N-carboxymethylamino)-1-nitrodibenzo[b,d]thiophene: A New Class of Caging Group for Environmental Selective Photorelease of Carboxylic Acid
The new environment sensitive photolabile protecting group, N-carboxymethyl-1-nitrodibenzo[bAthiophen-2-ylamino (CNDT) group, is described. CNDT-caging compound underwent efficient photochemical reaction to produce desired acetic acid in the presence of zwitterionic detergent, CHAPS.
