“…In brief, the original thioester strategy (not to be confused with the above thioester condensation) was followed by a multitude of related approaches, such as haloacetyl-based [53,54] (Scheme 2 C) or maleimidocaproyl-based (MIC-based, [55] Scheme 2 K) alkylation of thiol groups to yield thioethers, directed generation of disulfide bridges (Scheme 2 A), [56] together with the formation either of hydrazones and oximes (Scheme 2 E), [57,58] or of thiazolidines and oxazolidines (Scheme 2 G). [59,60] Through extensive crosstalk with the chemical biology field, the many labeling/ crosslinking techniques [61,62] for conjugation studies generated a wealth of ligation chemistries, [63][64][65][66][67] with procedures based on, for example, squarate/squaric acid, [68,69] quadricyclane [70] or tetrazine [71][72][73] (not shown in Scheme 2), alongside the use of DNA-templated reactions for similar purposes [74] and furan-triggering efforts from our own group. [75] The variety and recent popularity of strain-promoted cycloadditions [76,77] -including SPAAC (Scheme 2 N; strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition), SPANC (strain-promoted alkyne-nitrone cycloaddition), SPANOC (strain-promoted alkyne-nitrile oxide cycloaddition), [78] and SPIEDAC (strain-promoted inverse-electron demand Diels-Alder cycloaddition)-rely on the particular bioorthogonality of Diels-Alder-type pericyclization (Scheme 2 M) [79,80] and the click chemistry concept in general.…”
