Abstract
The development of new dyes for various fields of application is of primary interest for the scientific community, among these BODIPY are widely studied for their versatility. This communication describes the synthesis of a BODIPY dye on which a diacetoamidopyridine moiety is connected in meso position. The synthesis procedure requires a one-pot step and the dye is obtained with a yield of 20%. The diacetoamido portion contains chemical functionalities able to favor the interaction of BODIPY with complementary molecules, such as uracil or thymine, offering potential applications for the design of new functional materials or sensors.

Summary
Dyes are widely used as probes for the detection of different analytes in solution, such as metal ions, anions, small molecules, and biological macromolecules, [1] as well as in solar cell [2] or in catalysis for photoinduced water oxidation [3] Among these fluorescent molecules have always attracted the interest of scientists, given their possible use in multidisciplinary areas. In 2 the modification of the substituents on the chromophoric core increases the electron density towards the center which alters the electron distribution capacity This flexible approach could open the way for accessing to a plethora of programmable dyes and enables a systematic study of the principal factors affecting the dynamics of the energy migration and possibly driving energy transfer mechanisms, as previously reported [10]
