Photo‐Triggered, Fast, and Fluorogenic Thiophene‐Based Cycloalkynes for the Bioorthogonal Fluorescent Labeling of 1,3‐Dipole‐Tagged Molecules in No‐Wash Conditions
Thiophene is king! The fusion of thiophene rings to cycloalkynes super-charged their copper-free click chemistry applications, by (1) enhancing the alkyne reactivity (fastest cyclooctyne to date) and...
