Abstract
Inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder reactions (IEDDA) between tetrazine derivatives and strained dienophiles have attracted a lot of attention for the efficient conjugation of biomolecules, polymers, and nanomaterials. Excellent specificity, exceptionally fast reaction rate, and biocompatibility are key features of IEDDA. Therefore, it has also been applied to the development of new labeling methods using several radioisotopes and development of radiotracers to carry out various nuclear imaging as well as therapeutic studies. The purpose of this review is to introduce the reader to the recent advances and applications of IEDDA in the fields of radiochemistry and nuclear medicine.
