Electron‐deficient Michael acceptors can be used in reversible addition/elimination reactions with thiols. These electrophiles were used to convert a known irreversible kinase inhibitor into a covalent and reversible inhibitor. Such an approach might provide high‐affinity binders with increased selectivity without the toxicological risks associated with irreversible protein modifications.
