A brief literature survey reveals that metal-free ligation such as the maleimide-based cycloaddition with electron-rich (hetero)dienes is a widespread tool for the assembly of (bio)molecular systems with applications in biotechnology, materials science, polymers and bio-organic chemistry. Despite their everyday use, only scattered data about their kinetics as well as the stabilities of corresponding products under physiological conditions, are accessible. These key parameters are yet, of paramount importance to ensure the rapid and effective preparation of stable compounds. Herein is reported a systematic study regarding the different classes of dienes used in chemoselective ligation, including their accessibility and stability, as well as comparative kinetic experiments and products stability assays. We took advantage of these data to develop a double labeling strategy from the combined use of cyclopentadiene and oxazole dienes.
Oligonucleotide conjugation to a cell-penetrating (TAT) peptide by Diels-Alder cycloaddition

Modifed oligonucleotides are routinely employed as analytical probes for use in diagnostics, e.g. in the examination of specific RNA sequences for infectious diseases, however, a major limiting factor in oligonucleotide-based diagnostics is poor cellular uptake of naked oligonucleotides. This problem can be overcome by covalent attachment of a so-called 'cell-penetrating peptide' to form an oligonucleotide peptide conjugate. Stepwise solid phase synthesis of such a conjugate is difficult and expensive due to the conflicting chemistries of oligonucleotides and peptides. A simple approach to overcome this is post-synthetic conjugation. Diels-Alder cycloaddition is an attractive methodology for oligonucleotide peptide conjugation; the reaction is fast, chemoselective and the reaction rate is greatly enhanced in aqueous media - ideal conditions for biological moieties. An oligodeoxyribonucleotide sequence has been derivatised with a series of dienes at the 5′-terminus, using a series of unique dienyl-modified phosphoramidites, and investigation into the effect of diene type on the efficiency of conjugation, using Diels-Alder cycloaddition with a maleimido-derivatised cell-penetrating (TAT) peptide, has been performed. This led to the observation that the optimal diene for conjugation was cyclohexadiene, allowing conjugation of oligodeoxyribonucleotides to a cell-penetrating peptide by Diels-Alder cycloaddition for the first time.

In an effort to offer complementary technology for covalent biomolecule modification (bioconjugation), we have developed a method that exploits the aqueous acceleration of Diels-Alder reactions for this purpose. Three different diene phosphoramidite reagents have been synthesized that enable diene modification of synthetic oligonucleotides prepared by the phosphoramidite method. Clean and efficient Diels-Alder cycloaddition of these diene oligonucleotides with maleimide dieneophiles was carried out, and the labeled oligonucleotide bioconjugates were characterized by HPLC and electrospray mass spectrometry. Dieneophile stoichiometry, temperature, and pH are all parameters that were shown to influence the efficiency of the process.
Undesirable deprotection of O-TBDMS groups by Pd/C-catalyzed hydrogenation and chemoselective hydrogenation using a Pd/C(en) catalyst

In general, O-TBDMS protective groups have been believed to be stable toward Pd/C-catalyzed hydrogenation conditions. In practice, however, frequent and unexpected loss of the TBDMS protective group of a variety of hydroxyl functions occurred under neutral and mild hydrogenation conditions using 10% Pd/C in MeOH. When a 10% Pd/C-ethylenediamine complex catalyst [10% Pd/C(en)] was used instead of 10% Pd/C, the undesirable problem was perfectly overcome and the chemoselective hydrogenation of reducible functionalities leaving intact the TBDMS protective group was achieved.

The importance of chemically modified and surface immobilized nucleic acids has inspired the development of a wide variety of complementary techniques for covalent oligonucleotide preparation and immobilization. We are developing technology based on the use of a Diels-Alder reaction for accomplishing the covalent modification of oligonucleotides. Reported herein is preliminary progress toward the establishment of robust reagents for introducing the reactive functionality, as well as studies employing the BIACORE system to demonstrate surface immobilization by the method.
