The thermal cis-to-trans isomerisation reaction of a series of hydroxy-substituted azo derivatives was studied kinetico-mechanistically as a function of temperature and pressure in order to investigate the possible role of the solvent in controlling the isomerisation mechanism, viz. inversion versus rotation. The variation of the observed first order rate constants for kinetic runs carried out at different temperatures and pressures was used to determine the thermal activation parameters ΔH? and ΔS?, and the pressure activation parameter ΔV?. In addition, some experiments with deuterated species or solvents were also performed. The reported results could be interpreted as indicative of a changeover from an inversion mechanism for non-polar solvents to a rotational mechanism for polar solvents, capable of hydrogen bonding, for some of the systems studied. However, the operation of a rotational mechanism in all studied cases can account more consistently for the data observed.

Chemoselective modification of complex biomolecules has become a cornerstone of chemical biology. Despite the exciting developments of the past two decades, the demand for new chemoselective reactions with unique abilities, and those compatible with existing chemistries for concurrent multisite-directed labeling, remains high. Here we show that 5-hydroxyindoles exhibit remarkably high reactivity toward aromatic diazonium ions and this reaction can be used to chemoselectively label proteins. We have previously genetically encoded the noncanonical amino acid 5-hydroxytryptophan in both E. coli and eukaryotes, enabling efficient site-specific incorporation of 5-hydroxyindole into virtually any protein. The 5-hydroxytryptophan residue was shown to allow rapid, chemoselective protein modification using the azo-coupling reaction, and the utility of this bioconjugation strategy was further illustrated by generating a functional antibody-fluorophore conjugate. Although the resulting azo-linkage is otherwise stable, we show that it can be efficiently cleaved upon treatment with dithionite. Our work establishes a unique chemoselective "unclickable" bioconjugation strategy to site-specifically modify proteins expressed in both bacteria and eukaryotes.

Push-pull azophenols are valuable target molecules for stable photo-driven optical oscillators. Hydroxyazopyridinium methyl iodide salts show oscillation frequencies up to 10 kHz with no signs of fatigue upon continuous work. The Royal Society of Chemistry.
