Synthesis of a Fluorescent-Labeled Bisbenzamidine Containing the Central (6,7-Dimethoxy-4-coumaryl)Alanine Building Block

The synthesis of an amino acid amide is reported, which contains two benzamidine cores, one placed in the amide part the other one within the sulfonyl N-capping group. The amino acid side chain bears the 6,7-dimethoxycoumarin fluorophore. The fluorescent amino acid was prepared by using the von-Pechmann reaction. The two corresponding nitrile groups of a precursor molecule were simultaneously converted to the amidine moieties by the Pinner reaction. The fluorescent properties of the final compound were determined.
