Click-like condensation of boronic acids with specifically designed triols (boronate-triol coupling) produces stable diamantane adducts in aqueous medium, which can be controllably cleaved to initial components under acidic conditions or by using boric acid as a chemical trigger. This novel "click-declick" strategy allows for the creation of temporary covalent connections between two or more modular units, which was demonstrated by the synthesis of new fluorophore-labeled natural molecules (peptides, steroids), supramolecular assemblies, modified polymers, boronic acid scavengers, solid-supported organocatalysts, biodegradable COF-like materials, and dynamic combinatorial libraries.
