General description
Methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) KAT 10K (mPEG KAT 10K) is a monofunctional, methyl ether PEG featuring a terminal potassium acyltrifluoroborate for facile, rapid functionalization. Potassium acyltrifluoroborates (KATs) are stable functional groups that undergo rapid amide-forming ligations with hydroxylamines in aqueous media, in the presence of unprotected functional groups. In addition to its compatibility, these reactions proceed relatively quickly, lending to their use with sensitive biological reagents. This conjugation reaction offers a new approach to the synthesis of complex molecules without the complication of side reactions, such protein-polymer conjugates. KATs also undergo amide or imide-forming ligations in acidic conditions when reacted with primary amines or amides, respectively, as an alternative to classical acylation chemistry.

Current methods for constructing amide bonds join amines and carboxylic acids by dehydrative couplings-processes that usually require organic solvents, expensive and often dangerous coupling reagents, and masking other functional groups. Here we describe an amide formation using primary amines and

Chemoselective ligation reactions have contributed immensely to the development of organic synthesis and chemical biology. However, the ligation of stoichiometric amounts of large molecules for applications such as protein-protein conjugates is still challenging. Conjugation reactions need to be fast enough

The identification of fast, chemoselective bond-forming reactions is one of the major contemporary challenges in chemistry. We show that chemoselective amide-forming ligations of potassium acyltrifluoroborates (KATs) and O-carbamoylhydroxylamines proceed in the presence of all unprotected functional groups with a second-order
