Abstract
Fluorescent galactolipid analogues (1, 1a, and 2) have been synthesized with a pyrene group attached to the amino-terminal of a hexanoyl chain bound to an otherwise normal galactolipid structure. The synthetic lipids are obtained from peracetyl galactose by a general and versatile procedure based on the trichloroacetimidate methodology. The intense violet fluorescence (376 and 395 nm) and good photostability of pyrene make these compounds highly suitable as probes to study galactolipid metabolism. As proof of concept, we report that compound 2 is a valid tool to detect galactolipase activity in enzymatic preparations of potato tubers. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
