"Click chemistry" was used in this paper to get a novel hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel by modified HA molecules' side chains with azide and alkynyl groups to perform "Click" reaction. The HA hydrogel can be achieved "in situ" injection gel. The properties of the HA hydrogel can be controlled by controlling the amount of alkynyl and azide groups on side chains to achieve controllable HA hydrogel by HA molecular design. The reactant, product and hydrogel were characterized by 1H NMR, FTIR and morphology observation to determine the processes of reaction and can hydrogel formation.

The demand for tailored, micrometer-scaled biomaterials in cell biology and (cell-free) biotechnology has led to the development of tunable microgel systems based on natural polymers, such as hyaluronic acid (HA). To precisely tailor their physicochemical and mechanical properties and thus to address the need for well-defined microgel systems, in this study, a bottom-up material guide is presented that highlights the synergy between highly selective bio-orthogonal click chemistry strategies and the versatility of a droplet microfluidics (MF)-assisted microgel design. By employing MF, microgels based on modified HA-derivates and homobifunctional poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-crosslinkers are prepared via three different types of click reaction: Diels–Alder [4 + 2] cycloaddition, strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC), and UV-initiated thiol–ene reaction. First, chemical modification strategies of HA are screened in-depth. Beyond the microfluidic processing of HA-derivates yielding monodisperse microgels, in an analytical study, we show that their physicochemical and mechanical properties—e.g., permeability, (thermo)stability, and elasticity—can be systematically adapted with respect to the type of click reaction and PEG-crosslinker concentration. In addition, we highlight the versatility of our HA-microgel design by preparing non-spherical microgels and introduce, for the first time, a selective, hetero-trifunctional HA-based microgel system with multiple binding sites. As a result, a holistic material guide is provided to tailor fundamental properties of HA-microgels for their potential application in cell biology and (cell-free) biotechnology.

A new colorimetric probe for the detection of NO(g) based on the use of functionalized gold nanoparticles is described. The sensing protocol is based on a click reaction catalized by Cu(i) which is generated in situ from the reduction of Cu(ii) by NO(g).

Copper(I)-promoted "click" cyclization in the presence of TBTA afforded nucleoside macrocycles in very high yields (≈70%) without using protecting groups. To this end, dU and dC derivatives functionalized at the 5-position of the nucleobase with octadiynyl side chains and with azido groups at the 5’-position of the sugar moieties were synthesized. The macrocycles display freely accessible Watson–Crick recognition sites. The conformation of the 16-membered macrocycle was deduced from X-ray analysis and 1H,1H-NMR coupling constants. The sugar conformation (N vs S) was different in solution as compared to the solid state.

Click chemistry is a method for the rapid synthesis of functional molecules with desirable properties. We report the development of accelerated SuFEx, a powerful click reaction for the efficient coupling of aryl and alkyl alcohols directly with SuFExable hubs catalyzed by 2-<i>tert</i>-butyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (BTMG, Barton's base). The new method circumvents the need to synthesize silyl ether substrates while allowing the use of sub-stoichiometric catalyst loadings. This is made possible through a synergistic effect between BTMG and hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) additive. The powerful combination drives the <i>in situ</i> formation of reactive TMS-ether intermediates while exploiting the silicon-fluoride bond formation's thermodynamic driving force. Comparatively, the required BTMG base's catalyst loading is generally low (1.0–20 mol%) compared to the dominant SuFEx catalyst, DBU (10–30 mol%). In line with click chemistry principles, the scalable reaction only requires simple evaporation of the volatile side products (NH<sub>3</sub>, Me<sub>3</sub>Si-F, TMS-OH, BTMG) under reduced pressure instead of extensive purification. The new SuFEx protocol is tolerant of a wide selection of functional groups and meets all the demands of a click reaction, thereby dramatically shortening reaction times and delivering products in excellent yield.
