“…Variations on this reaction have also been used to label tyrosine aromatic rings with moderate rate and high selectivity (Table 3, entries 5–6) (Bruckman et al, 2008; Hooker et al, 2004; Jones et al, 2012; Schlick et al, 2005). The resulting azo intermediate can be processed in a number of ways, such as by oxidation to o -iminoquinone for hetero-Diels-Alder reaction (Hooker et al, 2004), or simply kept as a connector to another functional group that can be addressed by a second bioorthogonal reaction (such as oxime formation) (Gavrilyuk et al, 2013; Schlick et al, 2005). Similarly, a three component Mannich reaction between tyrosine and imines formed from aldehydes and electron rich anilines has also been described (entry 7) (Joshi et al, 2004), although it is relatively slow and requires a large excess of regents (McFarland et al, 2008; Romanini and Francis, 2007).…”
