Applications

Explore the Potential Applications of Click Chemistry to Serve Humanity

In 2001, Kolb, Finn and Sharpless published a landmark review describing a novel strategy named "click chemistry", or as the authors put it "the reinvigoration of an old style of organic synthesis"^[1]. It is a modular synthetic approach to the assembly of new molecular entities, and relies primarily on the construction of carbon-heteroatom bonds using spring-loaded reactants. Since click chemistry was conceived, its applications have spread to nearly every field of modern chemistry, from materials science to pharmaceutical science, and the research and development in these fields continues to grow exponentially. The widespread application of click chemistry is attributed to its fast reaction kinetics, quantitative yields, minimal byproducts, and high chemospecificity and regioselectivity. Over the years, Alfa Chemistry has been explored the application of click chemistry in various fields, including materials science, pharmaceutical science, biomolecular labeling, and chemical sensors, to support our customers in their full range of commercial and scientific research.
