Click chemistry application

It was clear from this early work that mass spectrometric analysis would be the most appropriate technique to detect hit compounds for in situ Click chemistry applications. Although the DIOS-MS method was able to directly detect the low quantity of triazole product conversion in the presence of large amounts of protein and parent fragments, the sensitivity for this measurement was very low, with a poor signal-to-noise ratio. It was therefore both logical and desirable to optimize the sensitivity and selectivity of the MS... 

Aryl azides constitute central precursors for heterocyclic compound generation (e.g., click chemistry applications) [101]. Interestingly, a safe, convenient and microwave-compatible aryl azidonation process has been dis-...

Kappe and co-workers proposed an application of a microwave-assisted Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of terminal acetylenes and azides 70, imder Cu(I) catalysis, as an example of click chemistry to obtain a collection of... 

Good automated compound creation is required in which compounds can be synthesized by robots on demand, driven by predictive software. This is achieved with combinatorial chemistry. In particular, Click Chemistry [18] provides very stable and predictable reactions that would be ideal for this application. 

Click chemistry has been particularly active in various fields this year. For example, ample applications of click chemistry have been seen in carbohydrate chemistry. Various /weiido-oligosacchardies and amino acid glycoconjugates were synthesized via an intermolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction using easily accessible carbohydrate and amino acid derived azides and alkynes as building blocks <06JOC364>. The iterative copper(I)-catalyzed... 

Scientific, Cellomics). For these applications, the use of azide/alkyne reagents in a click chemistry strategy is entirely appropriate and may be the best choice of all conjugation reactions, because of its exquisite chemoselectivity, bioorthogonality, and excellent reaction kinetics. 

In another application of coupling proteins to surfaces using click chemistry, Duckworth et al. (2006) carried out prenylation of a protein using a farnesyl azide derivative and the enzyme farnesyl transferase for subsequent chemoselective ligation to alkyne-functionalized agarose beads. The result is a highly discrete, site-specific attachment of the protein to the solid phase at a single location. 

For certain substrates, Fokin, Van der Eycken, and coworkers subsequently discovered that the azidation and ligation steps can be carried out in a one-pot fashion, thereby simplifying the overall protocol (Scheme 6.222) [397]. This procedure eliminates the need to handle organic azides, as they are generated in situ. Other applications of microwave-assisted copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne ligations ( click chemistry ) have been reported [398],... 

As click chemistry requires catalytic copper, which is toxic to cells, in vivo applications have so far been restricted. To overcome this limitation, Bertozzi and coworkers introduced a second generation of click chemistry that is based on a strain-promoted reaction between a cyclooctyne and an azide moiety [31]. This reaction has been further improved over the past years and is a hot topic in ligation chemistry [32, 33]. 

Click chemistry also found applications in peptides and peptidomimetics. Alkyne-azide cycloaddition between two peptide strands provided an efficient convergent synthesis of triazole ring-based P-tum mimics <07CC3069>. The synthesis of a-substituted prolines has been accomplished by microwave-assisted Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between azides and orthogonally protected a-propynyl proline in the presence of Cu(I) sulfate <07SL2882>. The synthesis of new trifluoromethyl peptidomimetics with a triazole moiety has been reported <07TL8360>.
