In 2022,Li, Zhao; Yang, Yuan; Yin, Pei; Yang, Zengming; Zhang, Bo; Zhang, Shengjun; Han, Bingyang; Lv, Jiawei; Dong, Fenghao; Ma, Hengchang published an article in ChemistrySelect. The title of the article was 《A New Lipid-Droplets-Targeted Fluorescence Probe with Dual-Reactive Sites for Specific Detection of ClO- in Living Cells》.COA of Formula: C18H12Br3N The author mentioned the following in the article:
Lipid droplets (LDs) are organelles composed of a lipid core surrounded by a phospholipid monolayer, plays an important role in a variety of physiol. processes as well as diseases. In this work, TPAs-SCH3-2CN with an enhanced electron D-π-A system, is synthesized, which makes itself as an orange emission compound (Em=590 nm) and also have high polarity. It is verified that TPAs-SCH3-2CN is an excellent LDs-targeted probe, and it also sensitive to the ClO- detection in vitro and in cells. Impressively, due to the high lipophilicity, TPAs-SCH3-2CN is able to stain the yolk lipids in zebrafish, exhibiting the potential for monitoring lipid transport and metabolism processes. In the experiment, the researchers used Tris(4-bromophenyl)amine(cas: 4316-58-9COA of Formula: C18H12Br3N)
In other references, Tris(4-bromophenyl)amine(cas: 4316-58-9) is often used in the synthesis of porous luminescent covalent–organic polymers (COPs)COA of Formula: C18H12Br3N
