Reversible covalent electrophiles with the advantages of both reversible and covalent interactions receive much attention in the fields of chemical biology and medicinal chemistry. Here, we report two electron-deficient olefins activated by amide and ester, amide-substituted acrylamide and methyl ester-substituted acrylamide, targeting thiols in a reversible covalent manner.
