CAS No.: 132149-81-6; Boc-Dil. PROPERTIES: Boc-Dil is a red crystalline powder with a molecular weight of approximately 452.5 g/mol. Its chemical formula is C27H34O6. The compound is sparingly soluble in common organic solvents and requires warming for complete dissolution. It should be stored at -20 C in amber glass vials under inert atmosphere. The substance is light-sensitive and should be handled under subdued lighting. Safety considerations include using PPE to prevent skin absorption and avoiding inhalation. The compound may cause serious eye damage and skin irritation. APPLICATIONS: Boc-Dil is a fluorescent labeling reagent used in cell biology research. It incorporates a Boc protecting group for orthogonal protection strategies and a dialklyindocarbocyanine fluorophore. Applications include tracking cellular processes, monitoring membrane dynamics, and visualizing lipid trafficking in live cells. The compound has been employed in studying vesicle transport mechanisms and in developing fluorescence-based assays for drug discovery. Additionally, Boc-Dil serves as a tool for investigating cellular uptake mechanisms of nanoparticles and other delivery vehicles. These applications are documented in fluorescence microscopy textbooks and specialized research publications on cellular imaging techniques.
