Abstract

Biotinylation is probably the most frequent and practically useful modification of molecules to facilitate selective and highly affine binding to (strept)avidin for immobilization, enrichment, and purification for further (bio)chemical or (bio)physical investigations. We present a protecting-group-free synthesis of a branched biotin bis-azide that enables dual-payload late-stage functionalization with arbitrary alkynes via click chemistry. Utility of the chassis is briefly showcased on the example of a valuable Pittsburgh B analogue, which binds pathological protein aggregates, commonly found in neurodegenerative diseases.
