Very unusual method of turning Tryptophan into click-reactive handle

  This research comes to us from very reputable group of Dr. Yiyi Weng at Zhejiang University of Technology. This paper shows how to turn any Tryptophan into strange tertiary azide heterocycle with about 87% efficiency. Could be useful if no other functionalization methods are available. I am not sure how reactive this azide will […]

Very Interesting Alkyne Reaction

Here comes new modification of the Alkyne. Is this the new click chemistry? Through a modified Kinugasa reaction, a novel method of amidation on terminal oligo alkyne conjugates by copper-promoted oxidation with nitrones has been developed. Unprotected bifunctional carboxylic acid–amine reagents can be transformed directly to the respective amide products under these edited Kinugasa reaction
