Click Chemistry with Dpeg® Products Click Chemistry with dPEG® Products Click chemistry is an essential, nearly indispensable tool for bioconjugation reactions. It provides a simple, straightforward route to the creation of numerous different structures and conjugated biomolecules. Since its discovery, the click chemistry reaction has spread into many different fields, sub-fields, and disciplines of chemistry and biology. In this review, we explore the types of click chemistry reactions, discuss some of their strengths and limitations, and review the various types of single molecular weight, discrete PEG (dPEG®)* products for click chemistry applications that Quanta BioDesign makes and sells internationally. If you are unfamiliar with Quanta BioDesign's dPEG® products, please visit the following two pages for a thorough explanation of dPEG® technology and answers to frequently asked questions. What is dPEG®? Frequently Asked Questions (about dPEG® products) Introduction to Click Chemistry In 2001, Hartmuth C. Kolb, M. G. Finn, and K. Barry Sharpless coined the term "click chemistry" to refer to a diverse set of reactions with a shared set of features that make the reactions appear to be "'spring-loaded' for a single trajectory."1 Kolb, Finn, and Sharpless set forth a strict set of criteria that reactions had to meet to be called "click chemistry" reactions. Their paper identified the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction, which Rolf Huisgen analyzed and reported on in 1967,2,3 as an exemplar of a click chemistry reaction. Although the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction frequently is named the "Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition," the first reported reaction of this type dates back to 1893 and a report by A. Michael.4 Huisgen's 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between an azide and alkyne proceeds at 100°C and yields a mixture of the 1,4- and 1,5- disubstituted triazoles.2 See Figure 1. Figure 1:The Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. See references 2 and 3. In 2002, Tornøe, Christensen, and Meldal5 and independently, Rostovtsev, Green, Fokin, and Sharpless6 related that copper(I) salts catalyze the rapid, regiospecific formation of 1,4-disubstituted, 1,2,3,-triazoles between azides and terminal alkynes. See Figure 2. This reaction is commonly abbreviated as CuAAC, for "copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition." These two independent reports marked the beginning of the widespread scientific awareness of the power and specificity of click chemistry. * dPEG® is a registered trademark of Quanta BioDesign, Ltd.

What makes a chemical process "click chemistry?" The criteria set out by Kolb, Finn, and Sharpless1 define the rules by which a reaction is or is not a click chemistry reaction. For a process to be "click chemistry," the reaction must: • be modular; • be wide in scope; • give very high chemical yields; • generate only inoffensive byproducts that non-chromatographic methods can remove; and, • be stereospecific (but not necessarily enantioselective) The process should have the following characteristics: • simple reaction conditions; • readily available starting materials and reagents; • no solvent, a benign solvent such as water, or an easily removed solvent; and, • simple, non-chromatographic product isolation (e.g., crystallization or distillation). The principal characteristics of a "click chemistry" reaction product are as follows: • The reaction product is stable under physiological conditions. • The reaction has a substantial thermodynamic driving force (>20 kJ/mole) favoring a single reaction product. In their 2001 paper,1 Kolb, Finn, and Sharpless also identified four classes of chemical transformations that they considered to be click chemistry reactions, which were as follows: 1. cycloadditions of unsaturated species (such as 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions and Diels-Alder reactions); 2. nucleophilic substitution chemistry (including, for example, ring-opening epoxide reactions); 3. non-aldol carbonyl chemistry (examples include oxime and hydrazone bond formation); and 4. additions to carbon-carbon multiple bonds (for instance, epoxidation, sulfenyl halide addition, and the Michael addition). page 2 of 28 ©2021 by Quanta BioDesign, Ltd. Click Chemistry with dPEG® Products Since the seminal 2001 paper by Kolb, Finn, and Sharpless, and subsequent discovery in 2002 of the CuAAC, many more reactions have been discovered or recognized as "click chemistry." These reactions include ruthenium-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition, strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition, strain-promoted alkyne-nitrone cycloaddition, photoclick chemistry, sulfur fluoride exchange, inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder, and more. These different types of click chemistry reactions are discussed in the sections below. Types of Click Chemistry: Metal-Catalyzed Click Chemistry Copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) The copper(I)-catalyzed cycloaddition reaction of terminal alkynes to organic azides to form 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles is one of the best known, most popular click chemistry reactions today. The reaction works well on solid supports5 as well as in solution.6 Although copper(I) salts catalyze the reaction, copper(II) salts do not affect the reaction. However, copper(II) salts combined with a reducing agent such as sodium ascorbate form copper(I) salts that can catalyze the reaction. Moreover, metal turnings of pure copper metal catalyze the formation of the 1,4-disubstituted, 1,2,3-triazoles.5,6 The CuAAC works with a broad span of reagents across a wide range of temperatures (0 – 160°C), pH values (4 – 12), and functional groups. The reaction works best in aqueous media, including serum and whole blood. Side reactions are rare and easily managed.6,7 The CuAAC works on terminal alkynes, but not internal ones.7 This limitation is mechanistic. The first step in the CuAAC reaction is the formation of a copper-acetylide complex. This complex then reacts with the three nitrogen atoms of the azide in a stepwise fashion, leading to the 1,2,3-triazole product.8 Copper(I)-catalyzed nitrile oxide-azide cycloaddition (CuNOAC) While studying the CuAAC, Himo et al. found a similar copper(I)-catalyzed reaction that is also a click chemistry reaction.7 Although not as well-known as the azide-alkyne cycloaddition, copper(I) also catalyzes the reaction of terminal alkynes with nitrile oxides to form isoxazoles. Consequently, this reaction is known as the copper(I)- catalyzed nitrile oxide-azide cycloaddition, abbreviated CuNOAC. See Figure 3. Limited investigations have been conducted on this reaction. See references 9, 10, and 11. Figure 3: The Copper(I)-catalyzed Nitrile Oxide-Azide Cycloaddition (CuNOAC). See reference 6. page 3 of 28 ©2021 by Quanta BioDesign, Ltd. Click Chemistry with dPEG® Products Ruthenium-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (RuAAC) In 2005, Li Zhang et al. reported a new type of click chemistry reaction catalyzed by ruthenium(II).12,13,14 At 80°C in benzene, in the presence of 5% Ru(OAc)2(PPh3)2, Zhang and colleagues found that benzyl azide and phenylacetylene reacted to form the 1,4- disubstituted, 1,2,3-triazole product. However, by switching to any one of four different ruthenium catalysts – Cp*RuCl(PPh3)2, [Cp*RuCl]4, CpRuCl(COD), or Cp*RuCl(NBD) – the azide-alkyne ligation formed the 1,5-disubstituted product with a terminal alkyne. See Figure 4.a. Further study showed that the RuAAC reaction works with both terminal and internal alkynes. Ruthenium(II)-catalyzed cycloaddition reactions with internal alkynes form 1,4,5-trisubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles.12,14 Although Cu(I)-catalyzed methods for forming trisubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles exist,15 the RuAAC provided the first facile method to 1,4,5- trisubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles. See Figure 4.b. Figure 4: The Ruthenium(II)-catalyzed Azide-Alkyne Cycloaddition (RuAAC) Reaction. a. Ru(II) catalysts and the isomers they form. b. The RuAAC provides a facile route to 1,4,5-trisubstituted-1,2,3- triazoles. See references 12, 13, and 14 for detailed information Although the RuAAC is a "click chemistry" reaction like the CuAAC, there are key differences. First, the solvent must be aprotic. Examples of compatible solvents for the RuAAC include acetone, benzene, dichloromethane, dimethylformamide, and toluene. Protic solvents such as water, methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol, as well as hexanes, diethyl ether, and ethyl acetate, inhibit catalysis. Second, unlike CuAAC, which progresses at room temperature, the RuAAC requires heating to 50 – 80°C to proceed. Third, while the CuAAC accepts a wide variety of copper sources for reaction catalysis (Cu(I) salts, Cu(II) salts plus a reducing agent, and pure copper metal), the RuAAC is quite limited in catalysts that form the 1,5-isomer. page 4 of 28 ©2021 by Quanta BioDesign, Ltd. Click Chemistry with dPEG® Products Other metal-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloadditions Metals other than copper(I) and ruthenium (II) catalyze azide-alkyne cycloadditions. Researchers have reported 1,3-dipolar azide-alkyne cycloadditions using indium16, iridium17,18,19 nickel20, rhodium21, and zinc22 in the scientific literature. Also, a 2016 report demonstrated a [4+3] azide-alkyne cycloaddition using yttrium triflate.23 Types of Click Chemistry: Bioorthogonal Click Chemistry Bioorthogonality in bioconjugation The toxicity of copper is one of the problems with the CuAAC and potentially with other metal-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloadditions.24,25,26 Prolonged exposure of living cells to toxic metals such as Cu(I) damages or kills living cells. Attempts have been made to create non-toxic Cu(I) catalysts that permit live cells to be labeled using the CuAAC.27 Also, metal-catalyzed cycloaddition reactions must react in aqueous media. Thus, for example, the RuAAC cannot be used in aqueous media or with living cells because the metal is toxic, and the catalysts do not work in water.

  • The Synthesis of a Polydiacetylene to Create a Novel Sensory Material
    SELDE, KRISTEN A., M.S. The Synthesis of a Polydiacetylene to Create a Novel Sensory Material. (2007) Directed by Dr. Darrell Spells. 47pp. Sensory materials that respond to chemical and mechanical stimuli are under development in many laboratories. There are many significant uses of polydiacetylene compounds as sensory material. They have been applied to drug delivery, drug design, biomolecule development, cosmetics, and national security. In this study, experiments were carried out toward the development of a novel sensory material based on the established synthetic research on polydiacetylene compounds. Synthetic routes toward sensory materials with different head groups, different carbon chains lengths, and the incorporation of molecular imprints were explored. Diacetylene moieties, which can be used for polymer vesicle formation, were prepared by two main routes. In one route, 1-iodo-1-octyne and 1-iodo-1-dodecyne were prepared as starting materials for the synthesis of two diacetylene compounds (Diacetylene I and Diacetylene II). In the other route, a mesityl alkyne was used to prepare 5-iodo-1-pentyne, which was then used to prepare a triethylamino alkyne. This in turn was used to synthesize a diacetylene (Diacetylene III). Although each diacetylene product was formed, purification by column chromatography was found to be difficult. Experiments in vesicle formation, with and without molecular imprints, were also carried out using commercially available diacetylenes . THE SYNTHESIS OF A POLYDIACETYLENE TO CREATE A NOVEL SENSORY

    Top Curr Chem (Z) (2016) 374:16 DOI 10.1007/s41061-016-0016-4 REVIEW Strain-Promoted 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition of Cycloalkynes and Organic Azides 1 1 Jan Dommerholt • Floris P. J. T. Rutjes • Floris L. van Delft2 Received: 24 November 2015 / Accepted: 17 February 2016 / Published online: 22 March 2016 Ó The Author(s) 2016. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract A nearly forgotten reaction discovered more than 60 years ago—the cycloaddition of a cyclic alkyne and an organic azide, leading to an aromatic triazole—enjoys a remarkable popularity. Originally discovered out of pure chemical curiosity, and dusted off early this century as an efficient and clean bio- conjugation tool, the usefulness of cyclooctyne–azide cycloaddition is now adopted in a wide range of fields of chemical science and beyond. Its ease of operation, broad solvent compatibility, 100 % atom efficiency, and the high stability of the resulting triazole product, just to name a few aspects, have catapulted this so-called strain-promoted azide–alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) right into the top-shelf of the toolbox of chemical biologists, material scientists, biotechnologists, medicinal chemists, and more. In this chapter, a brief historic overview of cycloalkynes is provided first, along with the main synthetic strategies to prepare cycloalkynes and their chemical reactivities. Core aspects of the strain-promoted reaction of cycloalkynes with azides are covered, as well as tools to achieve further reaction acceleration by means of modulation of cycloalkyne structure, nature of azide, and choice of solvent.

    A. Discovery of novel reactivity under the Sonogashira reaction conditions B. Synthesis of functionalized BODIPYs and BODIPY-sugar conjugates Ravi Shekar Yalagala, M.Phil Department of Chemistry Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Mathematics and Science, Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario © 2016 ABSTRACT A. During our attempts to synthesize substituted enediynes, coupling reactions between terminal alkynes and 1,2-cis-dihaloalkenes under the Sonogashira reaction conditions failed to give the corresponding substituted enediynes. Under these conditions, terminal alkynes underwent self-trimerization or tetramerization. In an alternative approach to access substituted enediynes, treatment of alkynes with trisubstituted (Z)- bromoalkenyl-pinacolboronates under Sonogashira coupling conditions was found to give 1,2,4,6-tetrasubstituted benzenes instead of Sonogashira coupled product. The reaction conditions and substrate scopes for these two new reactions were investigated. B. BODIPY core was functionalized with various functional groups such as nitromethyl, nitro, hydroxymethyl, carboxaldehyde by treating 4,4-difluoro-1,3,5,7,8- pentamethyl-2,6-diethyl-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene with copper (II) nitrate trihydrate under different conditions. Further, BODIPY derivatives with alkyne and azido functional groups were synthesized and conjugated to various glycosides by the Click reaction under the microwave conditions. One of the BODIPY–glycan conjugate was found to form liposome upon rehydration. The photochemical properties of BODIPY in these liposomes were characterized by fluorescent confocal microscopy. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am extremely grateful to a number of people. Without their help, this document would have never been completed. First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor and mentor Professor Tony Yan for his guidance and supervision to make the thesis possible.

  • Développement De Réactions D'hydratation D'alcynes Possédant Un Groupement Fluoré À La Position Propargylique Catalysées À L'or
    Développement de réactions d'hydratation d'alcynes possédant un groupement fluoré à la position propargylique catalysées à l'or Mémoire Mélissa Cloutier Maîtrise en chimie - avec mémoire Maître ès sciences (M. Sc.) Québec, Canada © Mélissa Cloutier, 2019 Développement de réactions d’hydratation d’alcynes possédant un groupement fluoré à la position propargylique catalysées à l’or Mémoire Mélissa Cloutier Sous la direction de : Jean-François Paquin Résumé La catalyse à l’or a retenu l’attention ces dernières années à cause de la capacité de cet atome d’activer les alcynes en vue d’une attaque nucléophile, dans des conditions douces, en présence d’autres groupements fonctionnels. Des effets relativistes seraient à l’origine de certaines propriétés uniques de l’or. Si le produit de Markovnikov est généralement obtenu lorsque la réaction d’addition est effectuée sur des alcynes terminaux, l’utilisation d’alcynes internes mène à la formation de régioisomères. Ce problème de régiosélectivité peut être, complètement ou partiellement, résolu en utilisant, entre autres, des groupements électroattracteurs à l’une des positions propargyliques. Dans le cadre de ses travaux, la réactivité de substrats portant un groupement fluoré en position propargylique a été explorée. Ici, l’attaque nucléophile se fera de manière préférentielle au carbone de l’alcyne distal du groupement fluoré, faisant office de groupement électroattracteur. Le premier projet porte sur la réaction d’hydratation d’alcynes trifluorométhylés et pentafluorosulfanylés catalysée à l’or pour la formation de cétone α-CF3 et α-SF5, respectivement. Les groupements fluorés, étant électroattracteurs, jouent le rôle du groupement directeur pour ces transformations et mènent à l’obtention d’un seul régioisomère.

Received 3 January, 2019; Accepted 19 April, 2019 Leaf, fruit, wood, and gum of fifty-five plants collected in Sudan were evaluated by Dish pack method for their allelopathic activity through volatile chemicals using lettuce (Lactuca sativa) as a receptor plant. Several potential plants with high allelopathic activity, such as Terminalia brownie, Euphorbia hirta, Diospyros mespiliformis, Corchorus olitorius, Adansonia digitata, Hibiscus sabdariffa, were determined. Baobab (A. digitata) leaves demonstrated relatively higher inhibition (23.9 and 21.5% of hypocotyl and radicle, respectively) than most of the screened plant species. Identification of the volatile compounds using headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry revealed 1-decyne as the main volatile compound naturally released from dried baobab leaves. EC50 (50% growth inhibition) of radicle and hypocotyl growth of lettuce seedlings by authentic 1-decyne was determined in the headspace air using by GC-MS with Cotton Swab method at the concentration of 0.5 ng/ml.
