Disclosed is the use of the reactive components of the inverse electron-demand Diels Alder reaction for chemical masking and unmasking in vitro. This can be applied in complex chemical reactions and, particularly in the synthesis of biomolecules, e.g. on solid supports. The reactice components are a dienophile, particularly a trans-cyclooctene, and a diene, particularly a tetrazine.

The present teachings disclose contacting an amine salt catalyst with a dicarbonyl compound having an alkylene group between the carbonyl group; adding formaldehyde, paraformaldehyde, or formalin in an amount of about 2:1 to about 3:1 moles of formaldehyde to moles of the dicarbonyl compound to form a mixture; and refluxing the mixture. The process forms a carbonyl-substituted alkene. The process may be performed in the absence of a solvent. The process may form methylene malonates, methylene dimalonates, methylene keto malonamides, methylene diketones, methylene keto esters, and the like.
