Abstract
Here, we report on methods for late-stage peptide diversification through palladium-catalyzed site-selective C(sp2)–H amination of tryptophan residues at the C4 position, utilizing tryptophan-amine cross-links. Our strategy enables practical access to C–N bonds, facilitating the construction of cyclopeptides via late-stage cyclodimerization of structurally complex peptides, which poses significant challenges for organic synthesis. The synthetic utility of this protocol is demonstrated through the synthesis of 30- to 38-membered macrocyclic peptides.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
