Although the 2-position-selective decarboxylative coupling or addition of arylpropiolic acids with cyclic ethers has been intensively investigated, selective functionalization of arylpropiolic acids at the 3-position is still a big challenge.

Polyfluoromethyl groups generally suffer from over-reaction, where multiple C–F bonds are uncontrollably functionalized. The use of a frustrated Lewis pair (FLP)-mediated C–F bond activation permits selective monodefluorination through base capture of intermediate fluorocarbocations. FLP-mediated C–F bond activation can be applied to aromatic, heteroaromatic, or nonaromatic difluoro and trifluoromethyl groups to generate selectively fluoride-substituted phosphonium and pyridinium salts. These salts can be further functionalized by Wittig coupling, nucleophilic substitution, photoredox alkylation, nucleophilic transfer, or hydrogenation reactions to install a range of functional groups into the activated C–F position.1 Introduction2 Frustrated Lewis Pair C–F Activation3 Conclusion

Tryptophan (Trp) plays a variety of critical functional roles in protein biochemistry however, owing to its low natural frequency and poor nucleophilicity, the design of effective methods for both single protein bioconjugation at Trp as well as for in situ chemoproteomic profiling re-mains a challenge. Here, we report a method for covalent Trp modification that is suitable for both scenarios by invoking photo-induced electron transfer (PET) as a means of driving efficient reactivity. We have engineered biaryl N-carbamoyl pyridinium salts that possess a donor-acceptor relationship enabling optical triggering with visible light whilst simultaneously attenuating the probe’s photo-oxidation potential in order to prevent photodegradation. This probe was assayed against a small bank of eight peptides and proteins, where it was found that micromolar concentrations of probe and short irradiation times (10-60 min) with violet light enabled efficient reactivity towards surface exposed Trp residues. The carbamate transferring group can be used to transfer useful functional groups to proteins including affinity tags and click handles. DFT calculations and other mechanistic analyses reveal correlations between excited state lifetimes, relative fluorescent quantum yields, and chemical reactivity. Biotinylated and azide-functionalized pyridinium salts were used for Trp profiling in HEK293T lysates and in situ in HEK293T cells using 450 nm LED irradiation. Peptide level enrichment from live cell labelling experiments identified 290 Trp modifications, with an 82% selectivity for Trp modification over other π-amino acids; demonstrating the ability of this method to identify and quantify reactive Trp residues from live cells.
