Article Abstract
A bioorthogonal reaction between N,N-dialkylhydroxylamines and push-pull-activated halogenated alkynes is described. We explore the use of rehybridization effects in activating alkynes, and we show that electronic effects, when competing stereoelectronic and inductive factors are properly balanced, sufficiently activate a linear alkyne in the uncatalyzed conjugative retro-Cope elimination reaction while adequately protecting it against cellular nucleophiles. This design preserves the low steric profile of an alkyne and pairs it with a comparably unobtrusive hydroxylamine. The kinetics are on par with those of the fastest strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition reactions, the products regioselectively formed, the components sufficiently stable and easily installed, and the reaction suitable for cellular labeling.

A new class of push-pull-activated alkynes featuring di- and trifluorinated ynol ethers was synthesized. The difluorinated ynol ether exhibited an optimal balance of stability and reactivity, displaying a substantially improved half-life in the presence of aqueous thiols over the previously reported 1-haloalkyne analogs while reacting just as fast in the hydroamination reaction with ,-diethylhydroxylamine. The trifluorinated ynol ether reacted significantly faster, exhibiting a second order rate constant of 0.

A chemically revertible bioconjugation strategy featuring a new bioorthogonal dissociative reaction employing enamine -oxides is described. The reaction is rapid, complete, directional, traceless, and displays a broad substrate scope. Reaction rates for cleavage of fluorophores from proteins are on the order of 82 Ms, and the reaction is relatively insensitive to common aqueous buffers and pHs between 4 and 10.

Artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) catalyzing new-to-nature reactions could play an important role in transitioning toward a sustainable economy. While ArMs have been created for various transformations, attempts at their genetic optimization have been case specific and resulted mostly in modest improvements. To realize their full potential, methods to rapidly discover active ArM variants for ideally any reaction of interest are required.
