Abstract
Triazole demonstrates distinctive physicochemical properties, characterized by weak basicity, various dipole moments, and significant dual hydrogen bond acceptor and donor capabilities. These features are poised to play a pivotal role in drug-target interactions. The inherent polarity of triazole contributes to its lower logP, suggesting the potential improvement in water solubility. The metabolic stability of triazole adds additional value to drug discovery. Moreover, the metal-binding capacity of the nitrogen atom lone pair electrons of triazole has broad applications in the development of metal chelators and antifungal agents. This Perspective aims to underscore the unique physicochemical attributes of triazole and its application. A comparative analysis involving triazole isomers and other heterocycles provides guiding insights for the subsequent design of triazoles, with the hope of offering valuable considerations for designing other heterocycles in medicinal chemistry.

Abstract
Flow chemistry provides a neo-orientation for the research and development of chemical technology, in which heterogeneous continuous catalysis based on packed beds can realize rapid separation and recycling. However, options for heterogeneous catalysts are still limited. In this work, we gradually grow covalent organic frameworks (COFs, TpBpy) on the surface of a silica gel (SiO2)-supported substrate to obtain a stable copper(I)-chelated high-loading heterogeneous catalyst (SiO2@CuI-TpBpy). SiO2@CuI-TpBpy shows high catalytic activity in three-component Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, giving the corresponding triazoles with excellent yields and reposeful recyclability under batch conditions. The structures of the catalysts remain steady, and the copper contents are basically unchanged after five cycles. Then, the catalysts are successfully applied for three-component heterogeneous catalysis in a one-pot continuous flow to prepare rufinamide in 89% yield for 24 h stably and efficiently with mere traces of copper ions remaining. More importantly, the catalytic system reveals a minuscule effect of catalyst particle size on internal diffusion. This COF encapsulation strategy presents a new possibility for the design of industrial heterogeneous catalysts with high metal loading and low internal diffusion resistance.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal reactions are a class of chemical reactions that can be carried out in living organisms without interfering with other reactions, possessing high yield, high selectivity, and high efficiency. Since the first proposal of the conception by Professor Carolyn Bertozzi in 2003, bioorthogonal chemistry has attracted great attention and has been quickly developed. As an important chemical biology tool, bioorthogonal reactions have been applied broadly in biomedicine, including bio-labeling, nucleic acid functionalization, drug discovery, drug activation, synthesis of antibody-drug conjugates, and proteolysis-targeting chimeras. Given this, we summarized the basic knowledge, development history, research status, and prospects of bioorthogonal reactions and their biomedical applications. The main purpose of this paper is to furnish an overview of the intriguing bioorthogonal reactions in a variety of biomedical applications and to provide guidance for the design of novel reactions to enrich bioorthogonal chemistry toolkits.
