Abstract:The inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder (iDA) reaction has recently been repurposed as a bioorthogonal decaging reaction by accelerating the elimination process after an initial cycloaddition between trans-cyclooctene (TCO) and tetrazine (TZ). Herein, we systematically surveyed 3,6-substituted TZ derivatives by using a fluorogenic TCO-coumarin reporter followed by LC-MS analysis, which revealed that the initial iDA cycloaddition step was greatly accelerated by electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs) while the subse… Show more
“…Consequently, electron withdrawing substitution on 3- and 6- position of the tetrazine lowered the LUMO of the diene and therefore accelerate the reaction [20, 21]. Recently, the iEDDA reaction has been redirected as an attractive bioorthogonal decaging reaction [25–27]. Interestingly, both electron donating group (EDG) and electron withdrawing group (EWG) decreased the decaging process.…”

“…Interestingly, both electron donating group (EDG) and electron withdrawing group (EWG) decreased the decaging process. For example, Peng Chen group systematically studied the kinetic effect of substituents on tetrazine for decaging reaction [27]. They synthesized symmetric tetrazine having the same substituents on 3- and 6- position of tetrazine.…”

Determining small molecule—target protein interaction is essential for the chemical proteomics. One of the most important keys to explore biological system in chemical proteomics field is finding first-class molecular tools. Chemical probes can provide great spatiotemporal control to elucidate biological functions of proteins as well as for interrogating biological pathways. The invention of bioorthogonal chemistry has revolutionized the field of chemical biology by providing superior chemical tools and has been widely used for investigating the dynamics and function of biomolecules in live condition. Among 20 different bioorthogonal reactions, tetrazine ligation has been spotlighted as the most advanced bioorthogonal chemistry because of their extremely faster kinetics and higher specificity than others. Therefore, tetrazine ligation has a tremendous potential to enhance the proteomic research. This review highlights the current status of tetrazine ligation reaction as a molecular tool for the chemical proteomics.

“…For preparation of tetrazine surfaces ( M 4 ), we chose unsymmetrical tetrazine with benzyl amine and methyl substitution, again via a carbamate linkage to ensure the same freedom/buried nature as in M 2 / M 3 . As shown by the groups of Hilderbrand and Chen, unsymmetrical tetrazines provide a better balance between stability and reactivity than their symmetric counterparts, while also ensuring enough rigidity on a surface. Complete surface attachment for M 4 surfaces was obtained for this reaction as confirmed by N/P ratios (1.5±0.1) in XPS analysis (Figure S5.4 in the Supporting Information).…”
Rapid and quantitative click functionalization of surfaces remains an interesting challenge in surface chemistry. In this regard, inverse electron demand Diels–Alder (IEDDA) reactions represent a promising metal‐free candidate. Herein, we reveal quantitative surface functionalization within 15 min. Furthermore, we report the comprehensive effects of substrate stereochemistry, surrounding microenvironment and substrate order on the reaction kinetics as obtained by surface‐bound mass spectrometry (DART‐HRMS).
“…Several strategies were pursued to achieve simultaneously high release yields and accelerated reactions. Investigations into tetrazines revealed that those with combinations of electron‐poor aryl substituents and linear alkyl substituents provide high elimination yields and rapid reaction rates . 2‐(6‐(Pyrimidin‐2‐yl)‐1,2,4,5‐tetrazin‐3‐yl)ethan‐1‐ol ( 3 ; Scheme ) allowed over 80 % uncaging in 30 min, whereas 1 only provided 20 % uncaging at this point in time.…”
Bioorthogonal reactions that proceed readily under physiological conditions without interference from biomolecules have found widespread application in the life sciences. Complementary to the bioorthogonal reactions that ligate two molecules, reactions that release a molecule or cleave a linker are increasingly attracting interest. Such dissociative bioorthogonal reactions have a broad spectrum of uses, for example, in controlling bio‐macromolecule activity, in drug delivery, and in diagnostic assays. This review article summarizes the developed bioorthogonal reactions linked to a release step, outlines representative areas of the applications of such reactions, and discusses aspects that require further improvement.
