Two 5 modified 2'-deoxyuridin triphosphates and a 7 modified 2'-deoxy-7-deazaadenosine were synthesized carrying a terminal azide linked to the base. For probing the sterical influence on incorporation and Staudinger ligation different sized flexible linkers were chosen. All three nucleotides can completely replace their natural counterparts in primer extension as well as polymerase chain reactions (PCR) using Pwo DNA polymerase. For azide labeled primer extension products subsequent conjugation of suitably functionalized phosphines via Staudinger ligation was achieved, e.g. for the conjugation of biotin as an affinity tag.

The development of bioorthogonal reactions is expected to propel further advances in chemical biology. In this study, we demonstrate Staudinger-Diels-Alder (SDA) ligation as a candidate for a new bioorthogonal reaction. This reaction ligates two molecules via strong C-C bonds at room temperature.

The trifluoromethyl (-CF) group represents a highly prevalent functionality in pharmaceuticals. Over the past few decades, significant advances have been made in the development of synthetic methods for trifluoromethylation. In contrast, there are currently no metalloenzymes known to catalyze the formation of C(sp)-CF bonds.

: The incorporation of radionuclides into peptides and larger biomolecules requires efficient and sometimes biorthogonal reaction conditions, to which click chemistry provides a convenient approach. : Traditionally, click-based radiolabeling techniques have focused on classical click chemistry, such as copper(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide [3+2] cycloaddition (CuAAC), strain-promoted azide-alkyne [3+2] cycloaddition (SPAAC), traceless Staudinger ligation, and inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA). : However, newly emerging click-based radiolabeling techniques, including tyrosine-click, sulfo-click, sulfur(VI) fluoride exchange (SuFEx), thiol-ene click, azo coupling, hydrazone formations, oxime formations, and RIKEN click offer valuable alternatives to classical click chemistry.
