Significance

Late-stage functionalization plays an inherent role in the construction of peptides and macrocyclic peptides. In the present study, the ­authors developed a Rh(III)-catalyzed alkenylation of tryptophan-containing peptides for the ­synthesis of maleimide-decorated peptides and macrocyclic peptides.


#

Comment

Rh(III)-catalyzed alkenylation of ­tryptophan-containing peptides proceeded smoothly to deliver maleimide-decorated peptides in good yields with excellent selectivity. The ­intramolecular reaction of maleimide-decorated peptides produced macrocyclic peptides.
