Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have developed efficient methods to conjugate functional molecules by sequential triazole formations. One is a modular synthetic method for bis- and tris-1,2,3-triazoles that include a benzotriazole structure, which was developed on the basis of sequential azide-aryne and azide-alkyne cycloadditions. The key to success was efficient halogen-metal exchange reaction-mediated generation of aryne from ortho-iodoaryl triflates bearing a base-sensitive terminal alkyne moiety, which was achieved using trimethylsilylmethyl Grignard reagent. Another is a transient protection method of cyclooctynes from click reaction with an azide through 1:1 complexation with a cationic copper(I) salt. The application of the method to a cyclooctyne bearing a terminal alkyne enabled the selective copper-catalyzed click conjugation with an azide at the terminal alkyne moiety, which made cyclooctyne derivatives readily accessible.
