Abstract
PRIME time: We report the synthesis of a pH-insensitive blue fluorophore, 7-aminocoumarin, by using palladium- catalyzed Buchwald-Hartwig cross coupling. 7-Aminocoumarin can be used to tag recombinant proteins on the cell surface and inside living cells through PRIME (probe incorporation mediated by enzymes), and unlike 7-hydroxycoumarin, can be visualized in acidic organelles such as endosomes.
