Abstract
A photo-activatable aziridinium precursor has been developed to investigate the possibility of a photo-initiated traditional nucleophilic reaction. The photolysis of a quaternary amine yields a tertiary amine and has allowed us to temporally control aziridinium formation and subsequent alkylation of a colorimetric nucleophilic reporter molecule. We have also used this photo-initiated reaction to alkylate a sulfhydryl group. This new photo-initiated alkylation strategy is water-soluble and expands the toolkit of photo-activated crosslinkers for protein labeling research. Published by Elsevier Ltd.Entities:
