Cyclopropenone-caged Sondheimer diyne (dibenzo[a,e]cyclooctadiyne): a photoactivatable linchpin for efficient SPAAC crosslinking

Abstract

The first fully conjugated bis-cyclopropenone (photo-DIBOD), a derivative of dibenzo[a,e][8]annulene, has been synthesized. 350–420 nm irradiation of this robust compound results in the efficient formation of dibenzo [a,e] cyclooctadiyne, an unstable, but useful SPAAC cross-linking reagent. Since photo-DIBO doesn't react with organic azides, this method allows for the spatiotemporal control of the ligation of two azide-tagged substrates.
