Triazinium Ligation: Bioorthogonal Reaction of N1-Alkyl 1,2,4-Triazinium Salts

Veronika Slachtova et al.

Summary: The development of reagents selective in complex biological media is a significant challenge. We demonstrate that N1-alkylation of 1,2,4-triazines produces more reactive triazinium salts when reacting with strained alkynes compared to the parent 1,2,4-triazines. These salts facilitate efficient modification of peptides and proteins through a powerful bioorthogonal ligation. The positively charged N1-alkyl triazinium salts possess favorable cell permeability and outperform analogous 1,2,4,5-tetrazines for intracellular fluorescent labeling applications. These new ionic heterodienes exhibit high reactivity, stability, synthetic accessibility, and improved water solubility, making them valuable additions to the repertoire of modern bioorthogonal reagents.

Triazines: Syntheses and Inverse Electron-demand Diels-Alder Reactions

Fa-Guang Zhang et al.

Summary: This review highlights the importance and applications of triazines, a class of six-membered aromatic heterocycles, in the synthesis of N heterocycles, natural product preparation, and bioorthogonal chemistry. It discusses the construction of triazines through annulation and ring-expansion reactions, emphasizing their role in IEDDA cycloaddition reactions for accessing a wide scope of heterocycles. Furthermore, it explores the bioorthogonal application of triazines in fast click ligation with strained alkenes and alkynes, providing a new opportunity for studying biomolecules in chemical biology.

[(η6-p-Cymene)[3-(pyrid-2-yl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine]chlororuthenium(II)]+, Redox Noninnocence and Dienophile Addition to Coordinated Tetrazine

Marc Schnierle et al.

Summary: The bidentate ligand TzPy showed noninnocent behavior and could be modified by dienophiles. The kinetic analysis of the reaction between [1](+) and ViFc yielded Delta G double dagger(298 K) = 67 kJ mol(-1), while that of [1](+) and EthFc was Delta G double dagger(298 K) = 83 kJ mol(-1). The electrochemical reduction mechanism of [1Fc](+) was studied using cyclic voltammetry and UV-vis SEC experiments, supported by DFT calculations.

Origin of Increased Reactivity in Rhenium-Mediated Cycloadditions of Tetrazines

Aneta Turlik et al.

Summary: Pyridyl tetrazines coordinated to metals such as rhenium exhibit higher reactivity in [4 + 2] cycloadditions compared to their uncomplexed counterparts, as a result of stronger orbital interactions. The increased regioselectivity can be attributed to a greater degree of charge stabilization in the transition state, leading to the formation of the major product.
