Significance

Peptide macrocycles provide an important platform for drug discovery. The authors have developed intramolecular C–H alkylations under­ blue LED irradiation for the macrocyclization of peptides.


#

Comment

Copper- or iridium-catalyzed intramolecular C–H alkylations were successfully promoted by blue LED irradiation. The desired peptide macrocycles were obtained in moderate yields.
