Abstract

An efficient photolabile protecting group, thiochromone S,S-dioxides with the diazomethyl group for phosphate derivatives, amino acids and sulfonic acids was developed. Protection and photodeprotection reactions proceeded smoothly under mild conditions without any catalyst.1H NMR and HPLC spectra studies demonstrated the photolysis properties of the photolabile protecting group and gave an exact quantification of the released substrates. Specially, the photoproduct derived from the thiochromone derivatives following Paternò–Büchi type photo-cycloaddition showed high fluorescence intensity. This fluorescent characteristic demonstrated the photodeprotection progress also can be monitored by fluorescence spectra.
