General description

The reaction of 3,4-diethoxy-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione (squaric acid diethyl ester) with glycosylamines (formed by reducing oligosaccharides) was studied. The derivatives formed were linked to amino-functionalized lipids, solids or proteins.

Application

3,4-Dethoxy-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione is used as a starting material for synthesis of furanones and quinones. It undergoes ethoxy substitution with amines and unsaturated organosilanes.

Reducing oligosaccharides were converted into their corresponding glycosylamines, and these were reacted with 3,4-diethoxy-3-cyclobuten-1,2-dione (squaric acid diethyl ester). The resulting derivatives could be linked to amino-functionalized lipids, solids, or proteins. Treatment of the obtained lipid or solid conjugates with aqueous

Polymer-protein conjugates generated from side chain functional synthetic polymers are attractive because they can be easily further modified with, for example, labeling groups or targeting ligands. The residue specific modification of proteins with side chain functional synthetic polymers using the
