Abstract

A small library of diarylsydnones (DASyds) was constructed based on aryl-pairing combinations and subjected to click reaction toward alkenes under photoirradiation with high efficiency. We were able to demonstrate the utility of DASyds for highly fluorescent turn-on ligation targeting the trans-cyclooct-4-en-1-ol moieties on protein.
