Post-translational modifications (PTMs) enhance the repertoire of protein function and mediate or influence the activity of many cellular processes. The preparation of site-specifically and homogeneously modified proteins, to apply as tools to understand the biological role of PTMs, is a challenging task. Herein, we describe a visible-light-mediated desulfurative C(sp3)–C(sp3) bond forming reaction that enables the site-selective installation of N?-modified sidechains into peptides and proteins of interest. Rapid, operationally simple, and tolerant to ambient atmosphere, we demonstrate the installation of a range of lysine (Lys) PTMs into model peptide systems and showcase the potential of this technology by site-selectively installing an N?Ac sidechain into recombinantly expressed ubiquitin (Ub).

We report a new air-stable PdI dimer, [Pd(μ-I)(PCy2tBu)]2, which triggers E-selective olefin migration to enamides and styrene derivatives in the presence of multiple functional groups and with complete tolerance of air. The same dimer also triggers extremely rapid C?C coupling (alkylation and arylation) at room temperature in a modular and triply selective fashion of aromatic C?Br, C?OTf/OFs, and C?Cl bonds in poly(pseudo)halogenated arenes, displaying superior activity over previous PdI dimer generations for substrates that bear substituents ortho to C?OTf.
Transition metal-free intermolecular a-C-H amination of ethers at room temperature

We describe a new method for the intermolecular amination of the α-C-H bonds of ethers. A hypervalent iodine reagent was used as oxidant to enable the amination of cyclic and acyclic alkyl ethers with a wide range of amides, imides, and amines. The amination occurred at room temperature and without a transition metal catalyst. The method could be used to synthesize the anti-cancer prodrug Tegafur and its analogues.
