Aryl esters are selectively reduced with DIBAL-H in the presence of an azide functional group to provide access to 4-azido-2-alkoxybenzaldehydes in five steps with overall yields ranging from 72 to 78%. This methodology improves traditional approaches to this class of compounds, which suffer from poor overall yields (4-11%). Our approach can be used to synthesize a variety of new aryl azide cross-linkers, labels, and probes.

Herein, we give the very first example for the development of a fluorogenic molecular probe that combines the two-point binding specificity of biarsenical-based dyes with the robustness of bioorthogonal click-chemistry. This proof-of-principle study reports on the synthesis and fluorogenic characterization of a new, double-quenched, bis-azide fluorogenic probe suitable for bioorthogonal two-point tagging of small peptide tags by double strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition. The presented probe exhibits remarkable increase in fluorescence intensity when reacted with bis-cyclooctynylated peptide sequences, which could also serve as possible self-labeling small peptide tag motifs. The first example of a fluorogenic molecular probe has been developed that combines the two-point binding specificity of biarsenical-based dyes with the robustness of bioorthogonal click-chemistry. The new, double-quenched, bis-azide fluorogenic probe can bind to small bis-cyclooctynylated peptide tags through a double strain-promoted click reaction (see figure; SPAAC=strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition). The probe exhibits remarkable increase in fluorescence intensity with peptide sequences that can serve as possible self-labeling small peptide tags.
