Key words

rhodium catalysis - silver catalysis - maleimidation

Significance

Late-stage peptide modifications are an important tool in the formation of bioactive compounds. Especially the introduction of reactive functional groups is useful for next-step reactions such as cyclization. The authors have established a Rh-catalyzed C–H maleimidation for such purposes.


#

Comment

The Rh catalysis proceeded smoothly and afforded the corresponding Trp including peptide with maleimide. Furthermore, these reaction conditions were also applied for the cyclization of oligopeptide.
