; specifically, the compound 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene in the IUPAC nomenclature.[1] The common name is an abbreviation for "boron-dipyrromethene". It is a red crystalline solid, stable at ambient temperature, soluble in methanol.[1]

The compound itself was isolated only in 2009,[2][1][3] but many derivatives—formally obtained by replacing one or more hydrogen atoms by other functional groups—have been known since 1968, and comprise the important class of BODIPY dyes.[4] These organoboron compounds have attracted much interest as fluorescent dyes and markers in biological research.[1]


Derivatives[edit]

IUPAC atom numbering for substitutions on the BODIPY core.Positions 3 and 5 are also commonly called "α"; 1,2,6,7 are called "β"; and 8 is called "meso". Note that the numbering does not match the numbering on the parent 2,2'-dipyrromethene molecule.[5]
Molecular structure of 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-8-phenyl-substituted BODIPY.[6]

The BODIPY core has a rich derivative chemistry due to the high tolerance for substitutions in the pyrrole and aldehyde (or acyl chloride) starting materials.[7]

Hydrogen atoms at the 2 and 6 positions of the cyclic core can be displaced by halogen atoms using succinimide reagents such as NCS, NBS and NIS - which allows for further post-functionalisation through palladium coupling reactions with boronate esters, tin reagents etc.[7]

The two fluorine atoms on the boron atom can be replaced, during or after synthesis, by other strong nucleophilic reagents, such as lithiated alkyne or aryl species,[7] chlorine,[8] methoxy,[8] or a divalent "strap".[9] The reaction is catalysed by BBr3 or SnCl4.[10]
