Abstract: A series of Ca2+-selective chelators incorporating a photosensitive o- nitrobenzhydryl ether, alcohol, or ester (A,,, 350-360 nm, c 4500 MI cm-l) were synthesized. The key step of the syntheses required the novel and mild trimethylsilyl triflate catalyzed Friedel-Crafts alkylation of a N, N-dialkylaniline by a nitrobenzaldehyde or its acetal. Before photolysis, the chelators show dissociation constants for Ca2+ of about lo-'M, roughly ...
