METHODS FOR INDUCING BIOORTHOGONAL REACTIVITY

摘要

A method for catalytically converting a dihydrotetrazine 1 into a tetrazine 2, wherein one R group on the dihydrotetrazine 1 is a substituted or unsubstituted aryl, heteroaryl, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, carbonyl, or heteroatom-containing group, and the other R group is selected from the group consisting of H and substituted or unsubstituted aryl, heteroaryl, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, carbonyl,—or heteroatom-containing groups; 1, 2 wherein the method comprises oxidizing dihydrotetrazine 1 in a reaction medium in the presence of a catalyst and a stoichiometric oxidant.;
