Abstract
Abstract We have demonstrated an efficient Pd-catalyzed annulative dual C2–H/N–H arylation reaction involving modification of the tryptophan indole skeleton to phenanthridinyl indole. This is an operationally simple and ligand-free strategy that was extended to biologically important indole derivatives and tryptophan-containing short peptides to deliver a diverse unnatural phenanthridinyl indole-tethered peptide with good efficiency. Notably, the method demonstrated good tolerance for N- and C-terminal protecting groups as well as for the side-chain functionalities of other amino acids.
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.
