Significance

Cyclic peptides have received increasing attention due to their improved stability and cell permeability, compared to linear peptides. The authors have established a cyclization at the side chain via carbonylation using in situ generated CO.


#

Comment

The cyclization proceeded at the side chain of Lys-Lys, Lys-Tyr, and Lys-Phe(4-NH2) ­regardless of the position of the complex peptide chain in good yields by the help of Cu catalysis.
