Synthesis of Diacylhydrazine Derivatives Based on Tetrazole-Focused DNA-Encoded Library.

Utilizing already existing DNA-encoded libraries (DELs) for the generation of a distinct DEL represents an expedited strategy for expanding the chemical space. Herein, we leverage the unique photoreactivity of tetrazoles to synthesize diacylhydrazines on DNA. Widely available carboxylic acids serving as building blocks were employed under the mild photomediated reaction conditions, affording diverse DNA-conjugated diacylhydrazines. This methodology also demonstrates robustness in DEL-compatible synthesis and facilitates the preparation of oligonucleotide-based chemical probes.
