DEPROTECTION OF FUNCTIONAL GROUPS BY MULTI-PHOTON INDUCED ELECTRON TRANSFER

摘要

The present invention provides novel compositions suitable for use in an intermolecular photodeprotection reaction scheme. Such compositions include a chromophore compound and a second compound having a photocleavable group bonded to a protected functional group. Novel compounds which can used in intramolecular photodeprotection are also provided. These compounds have a chromophore moiety bonded to a photocleavable group, which itself is bonded to a protected group. The compounds and compositions disclosed herein can be used in two-photon and multi-photon excitation.
