https://www.selleckchem.com/products/nst-628.html The proof of concept for conditionally activatable photocages is demonstrated on a new vinyltetrazine-derivatized coumarin. The tetrazine form is disabled in terms of light-induced cargo release, however, bioorthogonal transformation of the modulating tetrazine moiety results in fully restored photoresponsivity. Irradiation of such a "click-armed" photocage with blue light leads to fast and efficient release of a set of caged model species, conjugated via various linkages. Live-cell applicability of the concept was also demonstrated by the conditional release of a fluorogenic probe using mitochondrial pretargeting.Ester-linked, crystalline, porous covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Transesterification reactions between ditopic 2-pyridinyl aromatic carboxylates and tri- or tetratopic phenols gave the corresponding ester-linked COFs. They crystallize as 2D structures in kgm (COF-119) and hcb (COF-120, 121, 122) topologies with surface areas of up to 2092 m2/g. Notably, crystalline COF-122 comprises edges spanning over 10 phenylene units, an aspect that had only been achieved in metal-organic frameworks. This work expands the scope of reticular chemistry to include, for the first time, crystalline ester-linked COFs related to common polyesters.The use of stereoelectronic interactions to control reactivity and selectivity has a long history in chemistry. The anomeric effect, one of the fundamental concepts in organic chemistry, describes the preferences of a substituent at the anomeric carbon in glycosides to adopt axial configuration when the anomeric group is an electronegative element such as oxygen or a halogen. The origin of the anomeric effect has been the subject of intense debate. Explanations capitalizing on either the delocalization of the endocyclic oxygen lone pair into the antibonding σ*(C-X) orbital or the minimization of the dipole-dipole interactions a
