Novel quinolizinium-based fluorescent probes were designed based on 2-aza-Cope rearrangement reaction to detect formaldehyde in aqueous solution, serum, and paper format. The use of a geminal dimethyl group allows fast response within 15 min.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
