Sydnone Reporters for Highly Fluorogenic Copper-Free Click LigationsClick to copy article linkArticle link copied!
Abstract

Bioorthogonal fluorescent turn-on reactions are attractive for the sensitive real-time detection of a variety of phenomena including bioconjugation, chemical reactivity, and material assembly. Herein we describe the use of 3,4-disubstituted sydnones, a singular class of mesoionic dipoles, for highly fluorescent turn-on copper-free click cycloadditions with the fluorogenic dibenzocyclooctyne Fl-DIBO. Coherent with time-dependent density functional theory calculations, the pyrazole cycloadducts were found to be highly fluorescent with compelling photophysical properties including excellent fluorescence enhancement (up to 240-fold), high quantum yields (over 45%), and large Stokes shift (over 100 nm). Furthermore, the good stability and reactivity of 4-chlorosydnones with Fl-DIBO allowed us to employ them as chemical reporters for the challenging detection of modified-proteins in complex cellular extracts, with exquisite specificity in no-wash conditions. This novel fluorogenic system significantly expands our chemical biology toolbox and should be beneficial in countless applications.
