We report a boron dipyrromethene that is chiral at boron and carbon (B*C*-BODIPY) and accessible through a two-pot, one-step synthesis-an interrupted Knoevenagel condensation. The electronic circular dichroism spectra of chiral high performance liquid chromatography-resolved enantiomers show clear Cotton effects (∣gabs∣ ∼ 2.0 × 10-4) in the visible region, suggesting efficient chirality induction to the otherwise achiral BODIPY. The dye's unusually weak fluorescence (Φfl < 0.01) is attributed partly to vibrational relaxations, as revealed by viscosity experiments, and partly to probable intersystem crossing that may be facilitated by the reduced symmetry of the bent-shaped molecular geometry.
