The paper introduces a versatile strategy based on late-stage palladium-catalyzed C-H activation for synthesizing peptides with backbone thiazole motifs, enabling site-selective arylation in peptide side chains and expanding the structural diversity of peptide compounds. This method exhibits high biocompatibility and is capable of efficiently constructing peptide libraries with featured backbone thiazole units.
Modification of peptides via late-stage C-H activation is an emerging strategy to construct bioactive peptidomimetic libraries with expanded structural diversity for drug discovery. Peptides with thiazole motifs in the backbone as amide surrogates often exhibit improved bioactivity and biostability. However, methods to synthesize this class of compounds with structural diversity are limited. Here, we report the development of a highly versatile strategy for late-stage palladium-catalyzed C(sp(3))-H arylation of peptides. This protocol utilizes the thiazole motifs in the peptide backbone as internal directing groups and allows the regio- and site-selective arylation of beta-C(sp(3))-H and gamma-C(sp(3))-H bonds in peptide side chains. The high biocompatibility of this method to functionalize and ligate peptides with a variety of aryl donors, biomolecules, and fluorophores sets the stage for efficient construction of peptide libraries with featured backbone thiazole units.
