Fluorogenic Bifunctional trans‐Cyclooctenes as Efficient Tools for Investigating Click‐to‐Release Kinetics

Chemistry - A European Journal, vol. 26, pp. 9900–9904

Abstract

The inverse electron demand Diels-Alder pyridazine elimination reaction between tetrazines and allylic substituted trans-cyclooctenes (TCOs) is a key player in bioorthogonal bond cleavage reactions. Determining the rate of elimination of alkylamine substrates has so far proven difficult. Here, we report a fluorogenic tool consisting of a TCO-linked EDANS fluorophore and a DABCYL quencher for accurate determination of both the click and release rate constants for any tetrazine at physiologically relevant concentrations.
