New synthetic methodologies for the efficient chemical conversion of hydrophobic fluorescent dyes into bioconjugable and water-soluble derivatives are described. The combined use of an original sulfonated terminal alkyne and a metal-mediated reaction, namely the copper-catalysed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition ("click" reaction) or the Sonogashira cross-coupling, is the cornerstone of these novel post-synthetic sulfonation approaches.
