Aza-dibenzocyclooctynes for fast and efficient enzyme PEGylation via copper-free (3+2) cycloaddition

Marjoke F. Debets, Sander S. van Berkel, Sanne Schoffelen, Floris P. J. T. Rutjes, Jan C. M. van Hest and Floris L. van Delft


A strained aza-dibenzocyclooctyne was prepared via a high-yielding synthetic route. Copper-free, strain-promoted click reaction with azides showed excellent kinetics, and a functionalised aza-cyclooctyne was applied in fast and efficient PEGylation of enzymes.
