Abstract:The development of new bioorthogonal reactions with mutual orthogonality to classic bioorthogonal reactions such as the strain-promoted azide-alkyne click reaction and the inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction is of great importance in providing chemical tools for multiplex labelling of live cells. Here we report the first anionic cycloaddend-promoted bioorthogonal cycloaddition reaction between phenanthrene-9,10-dione and furan-2(3H)-one derivatives, where the high polarity of water is exploited to sta… Show more
