Abstract
Photocages, also known as photoactivated protective groups (PPGs), have been utilized to achieve controlled release of target molecules in a non-invasive and spatiotemporal manner. In the past decade, BODIPY fluorophores, a well-established class of fluorescent dyes, have emerged as a novel type of photoactivated protective group capable of efficiently releasing cargo species upon irradiation. This is due to their exceptional properties, including high molar absorption coefficients, resistance to photochemical and thermal degradation, multiple modification sites, favorable uncaging quantum yields, and highly adjustable spectral properties. Compared to traditional photocages that mainly absorb UV light, BODIPY-based photocages that absorb visible/near-infrared (Vis/NIR) light offer advantages such as deeper tissue penetration and reduced bio-autofluorescence, making them highly suitable for various biomedical applications. Consequently, different types of photoactivated protective groups based on the BODIPY skeleton have been established. This highlight provides a comprehensive overview of the strategies employed to construct BODIPY photocages by substituting leaving groups at different positions within the BODIPY fluorophore, including the meso-methyl position, boron position, 2,6-position, and 3,5-position. Furthermore, the application of these BODIPY photocages in biomedical fields, such as fluorescence imaging and controlled release of active species, is discussed.

Abstract
In classic bioorthogonal labeling experiments, the cell's biosynthetic machinery incorporates bioorthogonal tags, creating tagged biomolecules that are subsequently reacted with a corresponding bioorthogonal partner. This two-step approach labels biomolecules throughout the organism indiscriminate of cell type, which can produce background in applications focused on specific cell populations. In this review, we cover advances in bioorthogonal chemistry that enable targeting of bioorthogonal labeling to a desired cell type. Such cell-selective bioorthogonal labeling is achieved in one of three ways. The first approach restricts labeling to specific cells by cell-selective expression of engineered enzymes that enable the bioorthogonal tag's incorporation. The second approach preferentially localizes the bioorthogonal reagents to the desired cell types to restrict their uptake to the desired cells. Finally, the third approach cages the reactivity of the bioorthogonal reagents, allowing activation of the reaction in specific cells by uncaging the reagents selectively in those cell populations.

Abstract
Blebbistatin (Bleb) derivatives are a visible light photocage platform. During the photocleavage process, intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) and cationic intermediates play a decisive role. However, slow photolysis rate and low photolysis quantum yield are the main problems for Bleb's derivatives. Herein, by introducing a substituted OCH3 group at the para-position of the D ring, Bleb and Bleb derivatives with various leaving groups were synthesized and studied, and the photolysis performance was unveiled by steady-state spectra, photolysis rate experiments, photolysis quantum yield, and density functional theory calculations. Substituted OCH3 derivatives of Bleb may enhance the photolysis rate and increase the photolysis quantum yield because the electron-donating group can promote the ICT process and stabilize the cationic intermediate during the photolytic reaction. More generally, the insights gained from this structure-reactivity relationship may provide theoretical guidance and aid in the development of new highly efficient photoreactions.

Abstract
The development of new bioorthogonal reactions with mutual orthogonality to classic bioorthogonal reactions such as the strain-promoted azide-alkyne click reaction and the inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction is of great importance in providing chemical tools for multiplex labelling of live cells. Here we report the first anionic cycloaddend-promoted bioorthogonal cycloaddition reaction between phenanthrene-9,10-dione and furan-2(3H)-one derivatives, where the high polarity of water is exploited to stabilize the highly electron-rich anionic cycloaddend. The reaction is metal- and strain-free, which proceeds rapidly in aqueous solution and on live cells with a second-order rate constant up to 119 M-1 s-1 . The combined utilization of this reaction together with the two other widely used bioorthogonal reactions allows for mutually orthogonal labelling of three types of proteins or three groups of living cells in one batch without cross-talking. Such results highlight the great potential for multiplex labelling of different biomolecules in live cells.

Abstract
Photocages can provide spatial and temporal control to accurately release the various chemicals and bioactive groups when excited by light. Although the absorption spectra of most photocages are in the ultraviolet absorption region, only a few absorb in the visible or near-infrared region. Blebbistatin (Bleb) would release a hydroxyl radical under blue one-photon or two-photon near-infrared light (800 nm) irradiation. In this work, typical chlorine and bromine as leaving groups substituted hydroxyl compounds (Bleb-Cl, Bleb-Br) are synthesized to evaluate the photocage's capability of Bleb's platform. Driven by the excited-state charge transfer, Bleb-Cl and Bleb-Br show good photolysis quantum yield to uncage the halogen anion and the uncaging process would be accelerated in water solution. The photochemical reaction, final product's analysis, and femtosecond transient absorption studies on Bleb-Cl/Bleb-Br demonstrate that Bleb can act as a photocage platform to release the halogen ion via heterolytic reaction when irradiated by blue or near-infrared light. Therefore, Bleb can be a new generation of visible or near-infrared light-triggered photocage.

Abstract
Two approaches for the synthesis of substituted phosphonium salts from easily available benzyl alcohols and their heterocyclic analogs have been developed. The developed protocols are complementary: the direct mixing of alcohol, trimethylsilyl bromide, and triphenylphosphine in 1,4-dioxane followed by heating at 80 °C was found to be more efficient for acid-sensitive substrates, such as salicyl or furfuryl alcohols as well as secondary benzyl alcohols, while a one-pot procedure including sequential addition of trimethylsilyl bromide and triphenylphosphine gave higher yields for benzyl alcohols bearing electroneutral or electron-withdrawing substituents.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal phosphines were introduced in the context of the Staudinger ligation over 20 years ago. Since that time, phosphine probes have been used in myriad applications to tag azide-functionalized biomolecules. The Staudinger ligation also paved the way for the development of other phosphorus-based chemistries, many of which are widely employed in biological experiments. Several reviews have highlighted early achievements in the design and application of bioorthogonal phosphines. This review summarizes more recent advances in the field. We discuss innovations in classic Staudinger-like transformations that have enabled new biological pursuits. We also highlight relative newcomers to the bioorthogonal stage, including the cyclopropenone-phosphine ligation and the phospha-Michael reaction. The review concludes with chemoselective reactions involving phosphite and phosphonite ligations. For each transformation, we describe the overall mechanism and scope. We also showcase efforts to fine-tune the reagents for specific functions. We further describe recent applications of the chemistries in biological settings. Collectively, these examples underscore the versatility and breadth of bioorthogonal phosphine reagents.

Abstract
A major challenge in the field of RNA chemistry is the identification of selective and quantitative conversion reactions on RNA that can be used for tagging and any other RNA tool development. Here, we introduce metal-free diazotransfer on native RNA containing an aliphatic primary amino group using the diazotizing reagent fluorosulfuryl azide (FSO2N3). The reaction provides the corresponding azide-modified RNA in nearly quantitatively yields without affecting the nucleobase amino groups. The obtained azido-RNA can then be further processed utilizing well-established bioortho-gonal reactions, such as azide-alkyne cycloadditions (Click) or Staudinger ligations. We exemplify the robustness of this approach for the synthesis of peptidyl-tRNA mimics and for the pull-down of 3-(3-amino-3-carboxypropyl)uridine (acp3U)- and lysidine (k2C)-containing tRNAs of an Escherichia coli tRNA pool isolated from cellular extracts. Our approach therefore adds a new dimension to the targeted chemical manipulation of diverse RNA species.

Abstract
Photoactivatable (alternatively, photoremovable, photoreleasable, or photocleavable) protecting groups (PPGs), also known as caged or photocaged compounds, are used to enable non-invasive spatiotemporal photochemical control over the release of species of interest. Recent years have seen the development of PPGs activatable by biologically and chemically benign visible and near-infrared (NIR) light. These long-wavelength-absorbing moieties expand the applicability of this powerful method and its accessibility to non-specialist users. This review comprehensively covers organic and transition metal-containing photoactivatable compounds (complexes) that absorb in the visible- and NIR-range to release various leaving groups and gasotransmitters (carbon monoxide, nitric oxide, and hydrogen sulfide). The text also covers visible- and NIR-light-induced photosensitized release using molecular sensitizers, quantum dots, and upconversion and second-harmonic nanoparticles, as well as release via photodynamic (photooxygenation by singlet oxygen) and photothermal effects. Release from photoactivatable polymers, micelles, vesicles, and photoswitches, along with the related emerging field of photopharmacology, is discussed at the end of the review.

Abstract
Since first reported at the beginning of the 21st century, bioorthogonal reactions have become powerful tools for investigating biological systems. Here, we review several classic and current bioorthogonal reactions, including the Staudinger-Bertozzi ligation, strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC), 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, and tetrazine-alkene ligation. We discuss the capabilities and limitations of the subset of current bioorthogonal reactions that can be "turned on" by exposure to light or an enzyme. Finally, we focus on our recently developed turn-on cyclopropenes, which can be activated for reaction with tetrazines by exposure to light or enzymes, like nitroreductase, depending on the modular reaction caging group appended to the cyclopropene. We discuss the caged cyclopropene's molecular design and synthesis, and we discuss experiments to evaluate and verify reactivity both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
The establishment of bioorthogonal chemistry is one of the most significant advances in chemical biology using exogenous chemistry to perturb and study biological processes. Photo-modulation of biological systems has realized temporal and spatial control on biomacromolecules in living systems. The combination of photo-modulation and bioorthogonal chemistry is therefore emerging as a new direction to develop new chemical biological tools with spatiotemporal resolution. This minireview will focus on recent development of bioorthogonal chemistry subject to spatiotemporal control through photo-irradiation. Different strategies to realize photo-control on bioorthogonal bond-forming reactions and biological applications of photo-controllable bioorthogonal reactions will be summarized to give a perspective on how the innovations on photo-chemistry can contribute to the development of optochemical biology. Future trends to develop more optochemical tools based on novel photochemistry will also be discussed to envision the development of chemistry-oriented optochemical biology.
