Highly reactive “RIKEN click” probe for glycoconjugation on lysines

Abstract

© 2017 Elsevier LtdOne pot double click strategy containing strain-promoted click-reaction followed by 6π-azaelectrocyclization (RIKEN click reaction) has worked well in the synthesis of multivalent homogeneous and heterogeneous N-glycoalbumins. We have slightly changed the structure of linker unsaturated aldehyde used in this method. As a result it can be easily synthesized from commercially available material and furthermore, the enhancement of its reactivity towards both click-reactions was observed. The data described in this Communications facilitate the usage of the double click strategy as a general method for the synthesis of a variety of neo-N-glycoproteins.
