We introduce a stabilized diazo group as a reporter for chemical biology. ManDiaz, which is a diazo derivative of N-acetylmannosamine, is found to endure cellular metabolism and label the surface of a mammalian cell. There its diazo group can undergo a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with a strained alkyne, providing a signal comparable to that from the azido congener, ManNAz. The chemoselectivity of diazo and alkynyl groups enables dual labeling of cells that is not possible with azido and alkynyl groups. Thus, the diazo group, which is approximately half the size of an azido group, provides unique opportunities for orthogonal labeling of cellular components.

ConspectusIn the past decade, single-atom skeletal editing, which involves the precise insertion, deletion, or exchange of single atoms in the core skeleton of a molecule, has emerged as a promising synthetic strategy for the rapid construction or diversification of complex molecules without laborious synthetic processes. Among them, carbene-initiated skeletal editing is particularly appealing due to the ready availability and diverse reactivities of carbene species. The initial endeavors to modify the core skeleton of heteroarenes through carbon-atom insertion could date back to 1881, when Ciamician and Denstedt described the conversion of pyrroles to pyridines by trapping haloform-derived free carbene.

Traditional glycosylation methods using thioglycosides often require harsh conditions or expensive metal catalysts. This study presents a more sustainable alternative by employing copper, an earth-abundant catalyst. We developed diazo-based thioglycoside donors that, through copper catalysis, undergo intramolecular activation to form glycosyl sulfonium ions, leading to the generation of oxocarbenium ions.

A DNA-compatible three-component reaction is disclosed for the synthesis of on-DNA polysubstituted isoxazolidines that serve as privileged core scaffolds in numerous natural products and bioactive molecules. This one-pot approach involves the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of DNA-tagged styrenes with diazo compounds and nitrosoarenes in an aqueous solution of KOAc. The reaction demonstrates excellent functional group compatibility, providing a conventional protocol for the construction of a DNA-labeled isoxazolidine library.

Article Synopsis
- A new sensor called PDN has been developed that can selectively detect copper (Cu) and L-cysteine using a fluorescence On-Off-On approach and exhibits unique aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) properties.
- The sensor's effectiveness relates to its diazo functional group and specific molecular design, which contributes to its behavior, including a bathochromic shift due to J-aggregate formation.
- PDN shows impressive sensitivity with detection limits of 0.113 nM for Cu and 84 nM for L-cysteine and has been tested successfully in real-world samples, including strong acids and bases, and confirmed through various analytical methods and computational calculations.

Dimethyldichlorosilane (DMDCS), an efficient silane coupling reagent appearing between the -OH groups of silica gel (SG) and picric acid, instantaneously produces a derivative enriched with nitro groups. The nitro group acting as an end-cap terminates the reaction and subsequently was converted into diazo to couple tyrosine's phenol ring via its -carbon, the inert center to immobilize horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in a multipoint mode. It maintains the status quo of the native enzyme's protein folding and the entire protein groups' chemistry.
