A new water-soluble singlet oxygen probe

Abstract
The synthesis of the dihydroisobenzofuran derivative (4,7-dihydro-5,6-dimethylisobenzofuran-1,3-diyl)bis-(benzene-p-decanoic acid) is described; in buffered aqueous solution this compound readily reacts with singlet oxygen with rate constant k= 7.1 × 107 dm3 mol–1 s–1 as shown by the rapid bleaching of its 331 nm absorption band.
