Bioorthogonal reactions that are fast and reversible under physiologic conditions are in high demand for biological applications. Herein, we show that an ortho boronic acid substituent makes aryl ketones to rapidly conjugate with α-nucleophiles at neutral pH. Specifically, 2-acetylphenylboronic acid and derivatives were found to conjugate with phenylhydrazine with rate constants of 102 to 103 M−1 s−1, comparable to the fastest bioorthogonal conjugations known to date. 11B-NMR analysis reveals varied extent of iminoboronate formation of the conjugates, in which the imine nitrogen forms a dative bond with boron. The iminoboronate formation activates the imines for hydrolysis and exchange, rendering these oxime/hydrazone conjugations reversible and dynamic under physiologic conditions. The fast and dynamic nature of the iminoboronate chemistry should find wide applications in biology.
