A facile and efficient Cu(I)-catalyzed cross-coupling method is reported for the preparation of N-alkynyl or N-bromoalkenyl heteroarenes from bromoalkynes. Generally superior yields and functional group tolerance were obtained with microwave (MW) irradiation using imidazole, benzimidazole, pyrazole, and indazole substrates and poly(ethylene glycol) 400 (PEG400) as an additive. We speculate that PEG400 acts as both a Cu(I)-stabilizing ligand as well as a phase transfer solvent.

A facile and highly efficient solid phase synthesis method is reported for the preparation of hairpin DNA-binding polyamides using the cost-effective triphosgene (BTC) activating agent. Difficult polyamide sequences were prepared from N-methylimidazole (Im) and N-methylpyrrole (Py) building blocks with high stepwise yields (>98%) using Boc chemistry. The versatility of the triphosgene coupling approach was also demonstrated for the first time on aryl hydrazine resins to afford biomedically relevant tail-truncated polyamides in excellent isolated yields.

We report the combination of “click chemistry” with PCR by using alkyne-modified triphosphates for efficient and homogeneous labeling of DNA. A series of modified PCR products of different lengths (300, 900, and 2000 base pairs) were prepared by using a variety of alkyne- and azide-containing triphosphates and different polymerases. After intensive screening of real-time PCR methods, protocols were developed that allow the amplification of genes by using these modified triphosphates with similar efficiency to that of standard PCR. The click reaction on the highly modified PCR fragments provided conversion rates above 90 % and resulted in the functionalization of hundreds of alkynes on large DNA fragments with superb selectivity and efficiency.
