- –Alder probe would work well for the MMFs as well as other natural products containing electron-withdrawing groups at the three position such as flufuran (23). With this in mind, we designed the maleimide-based molecular probe (Figure 2B). Compound 6 was easily synthesized over three steps by adapting an
- alternative alkyl chains likely exist in other bacterial strains. Lastly, the probe was tested with flufuran (23) to show that it can also identify a natural product that is not an MMF. The maleimide probe was tested with the natural MMF molecules and the library of MMF derivatives in the same fashion as
- -carbon chain shown with 8, conversion dropped to an average of 86%. This is likely because the bulkier side chain sterically hinders the molecules from aligning in the optimal orientation for the HOMO and LUMO to interact. Similar high yields were observed with 10 and 11. The maleimide probe also worked

- catalyst to an intermolecular photocycloaddition between quinolone 209 and maleimide 210 (Scheme 32b) [92]. After extensive mechanistic investigations, the proposed mechanism for this reaction is markedly different to the intramolecular example in Scheme 32a. Firstly, the hydrogen-bonded complex 211 that
- forms is proposed to involve the alkoxy group rather than the N–H bond that is usually invoked. Then, upon photoexcitation, Dexter energy transfer to the maleimide is dominant to generate 3maleimide rather than energy transfer to the quinolone. While some maleimide dimerisation is observed, which
- supports the presence of triplet maleimide, a rapid cycloaddition occurs with the now ground-state hydrogen-bonded quinolone–iridium complex within the solvent cage pair 212 to give complex 213. Subsequent displacement by another substrate molecule releases the desired products 214 in excellent yields and

- -a]pyrrolo[3,4-c]quinoline derivatives were obtained for the first time. This transformation starts with the oxidation of the excited photocatalyst with O2. The aniline is then oxidized into an N-centered radical cation, which further gives the α-amino radical. The latter reacts with the maleimide to

- activation with cycles of violet and green light. Due to the very long-lived metastable cis configuration, 4FAB in vivo use could be of great promise for long term biological studies. Further chemical functionalization of this 4FAB probe with a maleimide functionality allowed clean cross-linking with
- temperature. The maleimide-substituted compound 1 reacted with the cysteine of glutathione, however, we found that this "4FAB version" of MAHoCh (Scheme 1) did not enable significant perturbation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor currents used with MAHoCh [16]. However, when 4FABTA analog 2 was tested as a
- maintains the near-ideal chemical properties of Hecht’s 4FAB chromophores [12][13] (see below). The final synthetic challenge was the installation of a maleimide onto chromophore 2. The original AB photoswitchable probes which were cross-linked to cysteine mutants had amides with a reverse orientation [19
