The development of highly efficient bioorthogonal reactions is of paramount importance for the research fields of biomaterials and chemical biology. We found that the o,o'-difluorinated aromatic azide was able to react with triphenylphosphine to produce water-stable phosphanimine. To further improve the efficiency of this kind of nonhydrolysis Staudinger reaction, a tetrafluorinated aromatic azide was employed to develop a faster nonhydrolysis Staudinger reaction with a rate of up to 51 m s , as revealed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis and fluorescence kinetics. As a proof-of-concept study, the highly efficient Staudinger reaction was successfully used for chemoselective fluorescence labeling of proteins and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) as well as for protein polyethyleneglycol (PEG)ylation. We believe that this bioorthogonal reaction can provide a broadly useful tool for various bioconjugations.

Iminophosphoranes with the general formula (RP═NR') have great potential in synthetic chemistry as valuable precursors/intermediates in organic synthesis or as building blocks for various organic compounds. However, the synthetic approaches and conditions to prepare iminophosphoranes are still poorly understood, limiting the utility of this chemistry for organic materials. In this article, a simple and efficient synthesis of previously unattainable poly(arylene iminophosphoranes) is reported.

A low-molecular-weight compound whose structure strikes a fine balance between hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity may form coacervates via liquid-liquid phase separation in an aqueous solution. These coacervates may encapsulate and convoy proteins across the plasma membrane into the cell. However, releasing the cargo from the vehicle to the cytosol is challenging.

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.

Nowadays, nucleic acid derivatives capable of modulating gene expression at the RNA level have gained widespread recognition as promising therapeutic agents. A suitable degree of biological stability of oligonucleotide therapeutics is required for in vivo application; this can be most expeditiously achieved by the chemical modification of the internucleotidic phosphate group, which may also affect their cellular uptake, tissue distribution and pharmacokinetics. Our group has previously developed a strategy for the chemical modification of the phosphate group via the Staudinger reaction on a solid phase of the intermediate dinucleoside phosphite triester and a range of, preferably, electron deficient organic azides such as sulfonyl azides during automated solid-phase DNA synthesis according to the conventional β-cyanoethyl phosphoramidite scheme.

8-(Azidomethyl)-1-naphthoic acid was elaborately prepared, and its coupling with amines provided the corresponding 8-(azidomethyl)-1-naphthamides. The Staudinger reactions of 8-(azidomethyl)-1-naphthamides with phosphine produced iminophosphoranes, and easy intramolecular cyclization of the iminophosphoranes afforded 2,3-dihydro-1-benzo[]isoquinolin-1-one leaving amines with almost quantitative conversion rates for the ipsilateral effect of 1,8-substituents on naphthalene. The protocol exhibits some advantages, including a readily available protecting group, cleavages of amides in almost quantitative conversion rates, an aqueous medium, reactions at room temperature, a broad substrate scope, wide functional group tolerance, and suitable scale-up reactions.
