Direct functionalization of BODIPY dyes by oxidative nucleophilic hydrogen substitution at the 3- or 3,5-positions

BODIPY dyes are shown to be susceptible to oxidative nucleophilic substitution of the alpha-hydrogens, incorporating nitrogen and carbon nucleophiles in a single, high yielding step. The reaction is an excellent alternative to conventional functionalization of this popular fluorophore.
