Feasible Synthesis of N,O‐Bidentate Difluoroboron Chromophores through Direct Functionalization of Quinoxalin‐2(1H)‐ones with Ketones in One Shot

Comprehensive Summary Organic difluoroboron complexes are a kind of potential platforms for a wide range of applications owing to their excellent photophysical properties. Herein, we have explored a simple and direct synthesis methodology for a library of N , O ‐bidentate difluoroboron complexes from quinoxalin‐2(1 H )‐ones and ketones in one shot. The photophysical properties of the generated complexes were evaluated and the application potential of these compounds on subcellular imaging was also explored.
