R. Miranda et al., Facile route to amino phthalimides and isothiocyanate analogues; novel reagents to prepare fluorescent protein conjugates., HETEROCYC C, 5(4), 1999, pp. 331-338
A simple synthesis of 3 or 4-aminophthalimides as well as the corresponding
isothiocyanates starting from phthalic anhydride is described; these molec
ules are suggested as new reagents to obtain fluorescent protein conjugates
. Additionally a mass spectrometric study for the target compounds was perf
ormed.
