Irradiation of cyclopropenone-masked dibenzocyclooctynes with near-infrared pulses from a femtosecond laser triggers photodecarbonylation via nonresonant two- or three-photon excitation. Multiphoton-generated cyclooctynes undergo a SPAAC reaction with organic azides, yielding the expected triazoles. Multiphoton-triggered SPAAC (MP-SPAAC) enables high resolution 3-D photoclick derivatization of hydrogels and tissues.
