Facile derivatization of rhodamine 6G in the 2' position by direct reaction with secondary amines is reported. If the secondary amine contains a hydroxy group, the hydroxyl-functional intermediate can be readily esterified to give either fluorescent initiators for atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) or a fluorescent methacrylic comonomer. In contrast to rhodamine dyes functionalized using primary amines, which are only fluorescent at low pH, these compounds are highly fluorescent at physiological pH. These new compounds were subsequently used to prepare a range of fluorescently labeled biocompatible polymers based on the biomimetic monomer, 2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC), for biomedical studies.
