Abstract
Our report describes the facile and scalable preparation of 9H-thioxanthen-9-one 10,10-dioxides via Pd-catalyzed sulfonylative homocoupling of the appropriately substituted benzophenones. This transformation provides a straightforward entry to previously unreported sulfone-fluoresceins and -fluorones. Several examples of these red-fluorescent dyes have been prepared, characterized and evaluated as live-cell permeant labels compatible with super-resolution fluorescence microscopy with 775 nm stimulated emission depletion.
