Copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) has found numerous applications in a variety of fields. We report here only modest differences in the reactivity of various classes of terminal alkynes under typical bioconjugative and preparative organic conditions. Propargyl compounds represent an excellent combination of azide reactivity, ease of installation, and cost. Electronically activated propiolamides are slightly more reactive, at the expense of increased propensity for Michael addition. Certain alkynes, including tertiary propargyl carbamates, are not suitable for bioconjugation due to copper-induced fragmentation. A fluorogenic probe based on such reactivity is available in one step from rhodamine 110 and can be useful for optimization of CuAAC conditions.

Since its conceptualization, click chemistry in all its variants has proven to be a superior synthesis protocol, compared to conventional methods, for forming new covalent bonds under mild conditions, orthogonally, and with high yields. If a term like reactive resilience could be established, click reactions would be good examples, as they perform better under increasingly challenging conditions. Particularly, highly hindered couplings that perform poorly with conventional chemistry protocols-such as those used to conjugate biomacromolecules (e.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) hold promise in heterogeneous metal catalysis benefiting from their robust, crystalline, and porous structures. However, synthetic challenges persist in prolonged crystallization times, limited metal loading, and uncertain coordination environments. Here, we present the rapid crystallization and versatile metalation of new acetylhydrazone-linked COFs (AH-COFs) by condensation of ketone and hydrazide components, featuring full conversion within 30 min under open-air and mild conditions.

Graft copolymers have gained significant importance in various fields due to their tunable functionality and well-defined architecture. However, there are still limitations due to the compatibility of monomers and functional groups depending on the polymerization mode. Click chemistry has solved this problem through its ability to easily and quantitatively link a wide range of polymers and functional groups.

This study explores the synthesis and evaluation of novel 1,2,3-triazole-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone hybrids, focusing on their electrochemical properties and antiparasitic efficacies against two human blood-dwelling parasites Plasmodium falciparum and Schistosoma mansoni. Using copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC), a well-established tool in click chemistry, two synthetic routes were assessed to develop α- and β-[triazole-methyl]-menadione derivatives. By optimizing the CuAAC reaction conditions, yields were significantly improved, reaching up to 94 % for key intermediates and resulting in the formation of a library of approximately 30 compounds.
