Significance

Introducing unnatural amino acid residues into the peptide chains is significant in the development of novel drugs. The authors have developed a carboamidation method to insert an unnatural amino acid residue into the peptides from dioxazolones, arylboronic acids and acrylamides.

Comment

A series of peptides containing unnatural amino acid residues are prepared. The yields of these three-component reactions are moderate to good by using Rh(III) as catalyst.
