Acyl radical to rhodacycle addition and cyclization relay to access butterfly flavylium fluorophores

Structural diversity of organic fluorophores is of importance for several applications (fluorescent markers, photosensitizers, etc.). Here the authors report a method to merge radical chemistry with C–H activation to construct a brand-new class of flavylium fluorophores starting from (hetero)aryl ke...
