β¦ Synopsis
A new highly fluorescent probe based on a boron-dipyrromethene functionalized with a phenylboronic acid group was synthesized from 2,4-dimethylpyrrol and 4-formylphenylboronic acid. Spectral changes in both absorption and emission spectra were observed in the presence of sugars.

In our search for an optical glucose sensor we have found that the combination of pyranine 1 and a boronic acid substituted benzyl viologen (o-BBV, 2) signals monosaccharides in the range of 0-1800 mg/dL. The quenching ability of o-BBV is modulated upon sugar binding, which in turn alters the fluore
