This work outlines the first phthalimidation protocol suitable for protein labeling and performed in aqueous media at room temperature and neutral pH with no catalyst or co-reagent required. The methodology is suitable for a range of amines and its efficiency was determined with chemoselective and site-selective protein labeling.
