An efficient approach using a photocatalytic strategy for C−H perfluoroalkylation of quinoxalinones under aerobic oxidation condition has been developed. Such transformation employs readily available sodium perfluoroalkanesulfinates as perfluoroalkylation reagents and demonstrates good functional group compatibility, affording corresponding products in moderate to good yields. Compared with previous procedures, this protocol uses oxygen as oxidant, and avoids the use of external additive. A radical mechanism is involved in this perfluoroalkylation reaction.magnified image

A novel pH fluorescent probe imidazo [1,2-a]indole derivative is reported. The probe is highly selective to strong acidic pH (pKa = 3.56) with high sensitivity and a fast response time (within 30 s). It is hardly interfered by ordinary metal ions and has good reversibility under strong acid conditions. The probe transfers charge under different pH conditions, and the response mechanism depends on the change of ICT. It can also be used for imaging in strong acidic Saccharomyces cerevisiae and detection of intracellular H + as well.
