Key words

organocatalysis - redox catalysis - peptide bond formation - seleno esters

Significance

Catalytic peptide-bond formation is an important process in providing effective and economical systems for use in the industrial and pharmaceutical fields. The authors have developed a redox organocatalyst system for the formation of peptide bonds.


#

Comment

The two-component catalytic process provides versatility in dipeptide syntheses. The authors propose a mechanism consisting of a reductant-driven phosphine cycle and an oxidant-driven selenium cycle.
