A new photocage is proposed, based on ketoprofen-derived compounds and mediated by carbanions. The new photocage has significant advantages over the widely used o-nitrobenzyl derivatives, including aqueous compatibility, faster photorelease, higher quantum yield, and innocuous byproducts. The photorelease of ibuprofen illustrates the properties of the new photocage.
