An azanorbornadiene bromovinyl sulfone reagent for cysteine-selective bioconjugation has been developed. Subsequent reaction with dipyridyl tetrazine leads to bond cleavage and formation of a pyrrole-linked conjugate. The latter involves ligation of the tetrazine to the azanorbornadiene-tagged protein through inverse electron demand Diels–Alder cycloaddition with subsequent double retro-Diels–Alder reactions to form a stable pyrrole linkage. The sequence of site-selective bioconjugation followed by bioorthogonal bond cleavage was efficiently employed for the labelling of three different proteins. This method benefits from easy preparation of these reagents, selectivity for cysteine, and stability after reaction with a commercial tetrazine, which has potential for the routine preparation of protein conjugates for chemical biology studies.

The cleavage of a protecting group from a protein or drug under bioorthogonal conditions enables accurate spatiotemporal control over protein or drug activity. Disclosed herein is that vinyl ethers serve as protecting groups for alcohol-containing molecules and as reagents for bioorthogonal bond-cleavage reactions. A vinyl ether moiety was installed in a range of molecules, including amino acids, a monosaccharide, a fluorophore, and an analogue of the cytotoxic drug duocarmycin. Tetrazine-mediated decaging proceeded under biocompatible conditions with good yields and reasonable kinetics. Importantly, the nontoxic, vinyl ether duocarmycin double prodrug was successfully decaged in live cells to reinstate cytotoxicity. This bioorthogonal reaction presents broad applicability and may be suitable for in vivo applications.

3,6-Substituted tetrazines 2 (a: R2 = 2-pyridyl or b: CO 2Me) react with 2,3,9,10-(R1)4-dihydro-6,13- ethenopentacene 3 in solution at elevated temperature to the corresponding pentacene 1 (a: R1 = H, b: OBn, c: F).
