Résumé
Tetrazine core "click-chemistry" is a blooming method for bioorthogonal labeling and crosslinking. We introduce two new classes of doubly clickable s-aryl tetrazines synthesized by Cu-catalyzed cross-coupling. Homocoupling arylation applied to o-brominated s-aryl tetrazines leads to bis-tetrazines structurally-characterized by tetrazine cores arranged "face-to-face". Their previously unseen bridge clamp structure was investigated by DFT. London dispersion forces, which are experimentally evidenced for the first time as [N] 8 -π-stacking interactions, are essential to the conformation. Upon inverse Electron Demand Diels-Alder (iEDDA) cycloaddition the o-biphenyl motif of bis-tetrazines produces a unique structuring stapling tool. The o-azidation of s-aryltetrazines introduces a second proximal intermolecular clickable function that opens the way to double clicking chemistry opportunities. The stepwise facile introduction of fluorophores (coumarin, pyrene) then iEDDA cycloaddition, including bioconjugation to antibodies, was achieved on this class of tetrazines. The Cu-based synthetic toolbox extends to (thio)-etherification, phosphination, trifluoromethylation and the introduction of various bioactive nitrogen-based heterocycles.
