2-Methoxy-4-(2-phthalimidinyl)phenylsulfonyl chloride (MPS-Cl) is a fluorescent probe used in labeling phenols and cresols. Desirable properties of fluorescent labeling agents are moisture and light stability. However, photochemically induced reactivity of 2-methoxy-4-(2-phthalimidinyl)phenylsulfonyl chloride (MPS-Cl) was observed in aqueous and organic solvents under ultraviolet irradiation. Reaction parameters and product characterization will be discussed.
