Significance

Peptide synthesis is a significant process in organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry due to the increasing application of peptide drugs. The authors have developed an efficient Brønsted acid-catalyzed amide-bond formation ­approach to the preparation of peptides via acyl N-methylimidazolium cations.

Comment

Various dipeptides were synthesized from common amino acids. The yields of the reactions were moderate to good, with broad functional-group tolerance. Moreover, severe racemization was avoided in the reaction.
