N-(7-Dimethylamino-4-methyl-coumarinyl) maleimides (DACM) : Novel Fluorescent Thiol Reagents

Abstract

Dimethylaminocoumarine (1) was proposed as one of candidate fluorogenic groups of choice. Thus N-(7-dimethylamino-4-methyl-coumarinyl) maleimides (4) are shown to be preferable fluorescent thiol reagents.
