Protein modification via alkyne hydrosilylation using a substoichiometric amount of ruthenium(ii) catalyst† †Dedicated to Professor Stuart L. Schreiber on the occasion of his 60th birthday. ‡ ‡Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available. See DOI: 10.1039/c6sc05313k Click here for additional

The development of site-specific modification of alkyne-functionalized proteins using dimethylarylsilanes and substoichiometric or low-loading of Ru(ii) catalysts is reported. Furthermore, the resultant gem-vinylsilane can undergo further targeted chemical modifications, highlighting its potential for single-site, dual-modification applications.
