The title compound, C18H21BF2N2, is a lipophilic dye based on a BODIPY fluoro-phore backbone, which was developed for microscopic imaging of lipid droplets; the mol-ecule has a planar BODIPY core [dihedral angle between the pyrrole rings = 2.3 (3)°] and two tetra-methyl-ene substituents at the 2,3- and 5,6-positions in a half-chair conformation. One of the tetra-methyl-ene substituents is disordered over two two sets of sites with site occupancies of 0.5. In the crystal, pairs of C-H⋯F inter-act ...[more]
