Intramolecular nucleophilic aromatic substitution (S(N)Ar) of preformed ruthenium cyclopentadienyl cationic peptidyl π-complexes forms cyclic biphenyl ethers in convenient, high-yielding reactions. The utility of the method was demonstrated by the efficie

The crystal structure of the chloride salt of H3N+-cyclo-(Phe(4-O)-Phe-Phe(3-O))-OMe, cyclo-phenylalanyl-phenylalanyl-phenylalaninium chloride methyl esther, C28H30N3O5+·Cl-, is described. It is oxidatively linked through a biaryl ether linkage formed from the hydroxyl of 4-hydroxyphenylalanine and the meta position of the distal phenylalanine residue. This is the first reported crystal-structure determination of a cyclic 17-membered biphenyl ether tripeptide, a class which includes the natural products K-13 and OF4949 I-IV. An unusual C-H...O hydrogen bond is formed between the methine H atom of the N-terminal Cα and a carbonyl-O atom of a neighboring molecule [C...O=2.995(4)A].
