Azirine ligation: fast and selective proteinconjugationvia photoinduced azirine–alkenecycloaddition

Abstract

We report a new bioorthogonal ligation reaction between p-nitrodiphenylazirine and dimethyl fumarate. This photoinduced azirinealkene cycloaddition provides a rapid (∼2 min) and highly selective route to protein conjugation at neutral pH and room temperature in biological medium.
