Significance
The synthesis of N-methylated peptides is an important field in organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry. The authors used isostearic acid bromide to generate mixed anhydrides to react with C-terminal-unprotected N-methylamino acids to prepare N-methylated peptides with the assistance of a silylation reagent.

Comment
Various N-methylated peptides were prepared through the mixed anhydrides intermediate. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions, and the yields of the desired products are good to excellent.
