Mass-spectrometry-based chemoproteomics has enabled the rapid and proteome-wide discovery of functional and potentially ’druggable’ hotspots in proteins. While numerous transformations are now available, chemoproteomic studies still rely overwhelmingly on copper­(I)-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) or ’click’ chemistry. The absence of bio-orthogonal chemistries that are functionally equivalent and complementary to CuAAC for chemoproteomic applications has hindered the development of multiplexed chemoproteomic platforms capable of assaying multiple amino acid side chains in parallel. Here, we identify and optimize Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling conditions for activity-based protein profiling and mass-spectrometry-based chemoproteomics, including for target deconvolution and labeling site identification. Uniquely enabled by the observed orthogonality of palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling and CuAAC, we combine both reactions to achieve dual labeling. Multiplexed targeted deconvolution identified the protein targets of bifunctional cysteine- and lysine-reactive probes.
