Abstract:
The invention relates to fused cyclooctyne compounds, and to a method for their preparation. The invention also relates to a conjugate wherein a fused cyclooctyne compound according to the invention is conjugated to a label, and to the use of these conjugates in bioorthogonal labeling, imaging and/or modification, such as for example surface modification, of a target molecule. The invention further relates to a method for the modification of a target molecule, wherein a conjugate according to the invention is reacted with a compound comprising a 1,3-dipole or a 1,3-(hetero)diene.

Abstract:
A process is provided, comprising reacting a (hetero)aryl 1,3-dipole compound with a (hetero)cycloalkyne, wherein the (hetero)aryl 1,3-dipole compound comprises a 1,3-dipole functional group bonded to a (hetero)aryl group, and wherein the (hetero)aryl 1,3-dipole compound is a (hetero)aryl azide or a (hetero)aryl diazo compound; wherein:(i) the (hetero)aryl group of the (hetero)aryl 1,3-dipole compound comprises a substituent(ii) the (hetero)aryl group of the (hetero)aryl 1,3-dipole compound is an electron-poor (hetero)aryl groupand wherein the (hetero)cycloalkyne is a (hetero)cyclooctyne or a (hetero)cyclononyne according to Formula (1). The invention also relates to the products obtainable by the process according to the invention.
