Chemoselective Peptide Backbone Diversification and Bioorthogonal Ligation by Ruthenium-Catalyzed C?H Activation/Annulation
The field of peptide derivatization by metal-catalyzed C?H activation has been mostly directed to modify the side chains, but poor attention has been given to the peptide backbone. Here we report a ruthenium-catalyzed C?H activation/annulation process that can chemoselectively modify the peptide backbone producing functionalized isoquinolone scaffolds with high regioselectivity in a rapid and step-economical manner. This strategy is characterized by racemization-free conditions and the production of fluorescent peptides, and peptide conjugates to drugs, natural products and other peptide fragments, providing a chemical approach for the construction of novel peptide-pharmacophore conjugates. Mechanistic studies suggest that amide bonds of peptide backbone act as the bidentate directing group to promote the C?H activation/annulation process. This report provides an unprecedented example of peptide backbone diversification and bioorthogonal ligation exploiting the power of ruthenium-catalyzed C?H activation. (Figure presented.).

Chemical protein synthesis by kinetically controlled ligation of peptide O-esters
(Chemical Equation Presented) Designer peptides: A large reactivity difference was observed between two peptide O-esters that can undergo peptide ligation through an situ O-to-S acyl shift. This observation allowed the designed of "one-pot" N-to-C sequential peptide fragment condensation through kinetically controlled ligation with more readily accessible peptide O-esters.
