Key words
nickel catalysis - deamination - cross-coupling - unnatural peptides - amino acid pyridinium salts
Significance
Modification of peptides on the side chain of amino acid residues is very important in drug discovery and medicinal chemistry. The authors reported a deaminative reductive cross-coupling strategy to arylate the amino acid residues.
#
Comment
Various unnatural peptides are synthesized in moderate to good yields. The arylation of their side chains resulted efficiently from preformed amino acid pyridinium salts by using a nickel(II) catalyst.
