New methods for peptide modification are in high demand in drug discovery, chemical biology, and materials chemistry; methods that modify natural peptides are particularly attractive. A Pd-catalyzed, C-H functionalization protocol for the olefination of phenylalanine residues in peptides is reported, which is compatible with common amino acid protecting groups, and the scope of the styrene reaction partner is broad. Bidentate coordination of the peptide to the catalyst appears crucial for the success of the reaction.

To search for techniques of simplified peptide synthesis, benzyloxycarbonyl chymotrypsin was prepared by a water-soluble acylating reagent and used to make Ac-Phe-Lys, an artificial peptide sweetener, which was selected as a target compound. As a result o

Several kinds of modified chymotrypsin were prepared with water-soluble acylating reagents, and their characteristics after hydrolyzing with unmodified chymotrypsin in aqueous-N,N'-dimethylformamide (DMF) media were compared. It was found that chymotrypsi

Monodehydropeptides with the dehydroaminoacid fragment in C-terminal or N-terminal position were synthetized as well as a family with the general formula Ac-ΔPhe-(Gly)n-Leu-OR (n = 0-2, R = H or Me).Asymmetric reduction of these compounds catalyzed by chiral rhodium complexes was investigated.The results were discussed in terms of double asymmetric induction.A method was developped to avoid the use of both enantiomers of the substrate or of the catalyst, it consists in the total reduction of a racemic dehydropeptide.The products distribution gives access to the two desired facial selectivities.
