Click Chemistry

Click Chemistry

Click chemistry is a two-step process that uses quantitative chemical reactions of alkyne and azide moieties to create covalent carbon-heteroatom bonds between biochemical species.1 The reaction uses copper(I) as a catalyst and forms a 1,2,3-triazole between an azide and terminal alkyne.2 The technology is reliable and stable which makes it an ideal oligonucleotide labeling method.
The benefits of click chemistry include1:
  • Reaction occurs in aqueous solution and at room temperature
  • Stability toward H2O, O2, and most organic synthesis conditions.
  • No side reactions
  • Robust catalytic process
  • Lack of functional group interference
  • A thermally and hydrolytically stable triazole connection
  • Unprecedented level of selectivity, reliability, and scope for syntheses which require covalent linkage between biochemical species.
