Many boronic acid-based chemosensors for saccharides have been developed; however, their detection mechanisms have seldom been studied. In this study, we synthesized 10o-azophenylboronic acid derivatives (azoBs) and conducted a fundamental study on the reactivity and the sensing mechanism ofazoBs, which undergoes a large color change, e.g., from red to yellow, upon a reaction with saccharides. Their pH-independent formation constants were determined by spectrophotometric titration and then converted to the conditional formation constantK′ at pH 7.4. A linear free energy relationship was established between logK′ and the pKaofazoB.11B NMR measurements indicate that in aprotic solvents,azoBforms a trigonal planar structure, while in protic solvents, it forms a quasi-tetrahedral structure (azoB-ROH) with a protic solvent molecule (ROH) inserted between the boronic acid moiety and the azo group. In addition, UV–vis spectroscopic studies showed that the color change during the reaction betweenazoBandd-fructose in ROH was caused by the release of the ROH fromazoB-ROHbyd-fructose. Based on the findings in this study, we proposed a guideline for designing anazoB-based chemosensor that exhibits high reactivity toward saccharides and a sufficient color change to allow for the visual detection of saccharides.
