Palladium-Catalyzed Aminocarbonylation in Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis: A Method for Capping, Cyclization, and Isotope Labeling

A new synthetic approach for introducing N-capping, groups onto peptides attached to a solid support, Combining aminocarbonylation under mild conditions Wing a palladacycle precatalyst and, solid-phase peptide synthesis is reported. The use of la silacarboxylic acid as an in situ CO-releasing molecule allowed the reaction to be performed single vial. The method also enables versatile substitution of side chains, side-chain to side-chain cyclizations, and selective aryl labeling of modified peptides.
