Abstract

The selective modification of α-amino acids and peptides constitutes a pivotal arena for accessing new peptide-based materials and therapeutics. In recent years, visible light photoredox catalysis has appeared as a powerful platform for the activation of small molecules via single-electron transfer events, allowing previously inaccessible reaction pathways to be explored. This review outlines the recent advances, mechanistic underpinnings, and opportunities of applying photoredox catalysis to the expansion of the synthetic repertoire for the modification of specific amino acid residues.

  • 114 Reaction development revealed that the use of photocatalysts with increasing triplet energy provided higher yields of the O-aryl ester product while photocatalysts with increasing oxidation power provided lower yields. These findings support an energy transfer process and disfavor a single-electron transfer mechanism that would involve formation of NiIII from NiII. Furthermore, radical decarboxylation is not favored because of the relatively low oxidation potential of the IrIII*/IrII redox couple for the Ir(ppy)3 photocatalyst.
