Abstract
Orthogonal bond-breaking and forming of dynamic covalent disulfide and imine bonds in aqueous solution is demonstrated. Through judicious choice of reaction partners and conditions, it is possible to cleave and reform selectively these bonds in the presence of each other in the absence of unwanted competing processes.

Orthogonal bond-breaking and forming of dynamic covalent disulfide and imine bonds in aqueous solution is demonstrated
The design and study of functional systems of molecules is an area of interest within the growing field of systems chemistry.[1]
Orthogonal interactions in functional systems[3] have been exploited in increasingly complex systems e.g. molecular machines,[4] interlocked molecules[5] and responsive materials,[6] and to continue this development there is a clear need for well-understood orthogonal interactions
Summary
Orthogonal bond-breaking and forming of dynamic covalent disulfide and imine bonds in aqueous solution is demonstrated. Through judicious choice of reaction partners and conditions, it is possible to cleave and reform selectively these bonds in the presence of each other in the absence of unwanted competing processes.
