Abstract
We developed an organophotoredox catalytic system to facilitate the decarboxylative allylation coupling process concerning α-amino acids and related C-terminal carboxylate peptides using Morita–Baylis–Hillman adducts as allylic precursors. This metal-free method operates under mild conditions and is compatible with various amino acids. The versatility of this protocol, particularly in chemical biology research, has been preliminarily demonstrated through the ligation of bioactive peptide chains.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
