Bacher Shedding New Light on Squaraines: Utilizing Squaraine Dyes as Effective Tools in Organic Synthesis 2020 .txt text/plain 231 7 12 To date, the applications of squaraine dyes have been successfully extended towards: (1) the development of squaraine dyes as thermo- and chemoreversible imaging agents, (2) accessing highly functionalized oxindoles and benzofuranones via a phosphine-mediated ring expansion of appropriately substituted dianiline squaraine dyes, (3) the utility of amino-acid bound 1,3-squaramides in Brønsted acid catalysis, and (4) the design of squaraine dyes as chiral transition metal ligands in enantioselective catalysis. First discovered in 1965 by Treibs and Jacob, fluorescent squaraine dyes are boldly colored compounds well known for their applications in physical and analytical chemistry. cache/rn300z73r88.txt txt/rn300z73r88.txt
