A Singlet Oxygen Trapping Agent

[摘要] Measuring the reaction rate of bilirubin and oxodipyrromethenes with singlet oxygen, we have found oxodipyrromethenes to be better singlet oxygen trapping agents than diphenyl-isobenzofuran, the best such agent known so far. The photooxygenation rates of bilirubin and the model compounds, oxodipyrromethenes approached the diffusion control threshold. A new oxodipyrromethene is synthesized.
