Article Synopsis
- - Iron is crucial for plant growth but is often unavailable in alkaline soils, which negatively affects crop yields.
- - Researchers initially used a synthetic form of 2'-deoxymugineic acid to address iron deficiency in rice, but its high cost and instability limited agricultural applications.
- - A new, more stable, and cheaper version called proline-2'-deoxymugineic acid was developed, successfully promoting rice growth in alkaline soils by enhancing iron availability.
For the fluorescence imaging of biologically active small compounds, the development of compact fluorophores that do not perturb bioactivity is required. Here we report a compact derivative of fluorescent 1,3a,6a-triazapentalenes, 2-isobutenylcarbonyl-1,3a,6a-triazapentalene (TAP-VK1), as a fluorescent labeling reagent. The reaction of TAP-VK1 with various aliphatic thiols proceeds smoothly to afford the corresponding 1,4-adducts in high yields, and nucleophiles other than thiols do not react.
