Abstract
Dehydrophenylalanine has a characteristic unsaturated double bond that makes it indispensable in the context of peptides and proteins. In this study, we report the Pd-catalyzed C(sp2)–H arylation of dehydroalanine-containing peptides with arylthianthrenium salts under mild and base free conditions, which provides efficient access to dehydrophenylalanine-containing peptides. This approach enables the efficient coupling of different drug scaffolds and bioactive molecules to the peptides. Remarkably, the method could be used for the concise synthesis of tentoxin and its analogue.
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.
