unsaturation from the poly(lysine) backbone, the more intense the polarized signals when para-hydrogenation is carried out. This is due to (a) the maintenance of short reorientational times on the unsaturated ends, and therefore a sufficiently long T(1) of the protons added during hydrogenation, and (b) the minor effect of steric hindrance by the poly(lysine) backbone that decreases interaction of the

While D-glucose is the natural substrate of aldose reductase (AR) in the polyol pathway, the K-m value of D-glucose against AR is large. A glucoamide 1 was designed as a tool to investigate whether AR has a strong affinity for the open form of D-glucose. Glucoamide 1 was synthesized in high yield by modification of the reaction condition for click chemistry. It was found that our modified condition was applicable for highly polar alkynes and gave coupling products in excellent yield (90% to 100%). Although weak inhibitory activity against AR was observed, kinetic studies showed that AR does not accept glucoamide 1 in its active site.

Fluorogenic reactions have broad applications in biolabeling, combinatorial synthesis of fluorescent dyes, and materials development. It was recently reported that the highly selective and efficient Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction can be employed in designing new types of fluorogenic reactions. In this study, we report a fluorogenic reaction using anthracene azides as starting materials. The fluorescence of the anthryl core can be greatly inhibited upon introducing electron-donating azido groups in the proximity. Such weakly fluorescent anthracene azides demonstrate high reactivity with a variety of alkynes under the CuAAC conditions producing a strongly fluorescent triazole product with high quantum yields. This reaction can be used in the synthesis and screening of fluorescent dyes combinatorially. Compared with most existing methods, the fluorogenic CuAAC reaction is a much milder and simpler technique to prepare large libraries of fluorescent dyes without further purification. In order to demonstrate the efficiency of using anthracene azides for biolabeling applications, both small molecules and biomolecules including the multialkyne-derivatized cowpea mosaic virus and tobacco mosaic virus had been studied.
