Abstract
DNA-encoded library (DEL) is a powerful hit selection technique in both basic science and innovative drug discovery. In this study, we report a robust and straightforward DNA-compatible diazo-transfer reaction utilizing FSO(2)N(3) as the diazo-transfer reagent in solution. This reaction demonstrates high conversions and facile operation while being metal-free and maintaining high levels of DNA fidelity. It is also compatible with a wide range of substrates, allowing for convenient access to both aliphatic and aromatic amines. Consequently, it will further enrich the DEL chemistry toolbox.
