Abstract
Bio-orthogonal tetrazine click reactions have recently attracted significant interest for applications spanning biological imaging, cancer targeting, and biomaterials science. Here, we report a simple and efficient two-step scheme for the synthesis of an asymmetric tetrazine molecule containing a carboxylic acid handle for subsequent macromolecular conjugation. Yields as high as 75% were achieved using as little as 0.005 equivalents of nickel triflate catalyst, which is a significant improvement over previous methodologies.
