Abstract

AbstractWe describe herein the first radical CH arylation of BODIPY dyes. This novel, general, one‐step synthetic procedure uses ferrocene to generate aryl radical species from aryldiazonium salts and allows the straightforward synthesis of brightly fluorescent (Φ>0.85) 3,5‐diarylated and 3‐monoarylated boron dipyrrins in up to 86 % yield for a broad range of aryl substituents. In this way, new and complex dyes with red‐shifted spectra can be easily prepared.
