Electron donor–acceptor complex of aryl sulfonium salt enabling hydrogen/halogen atom transfer: C(sp3)–H alkylation of glycine derivatives and late-stage modification of peptides†
Abstract
Disclosed herein is the first example of visible-light-promoted C(sp3)–C(sp3) bond formation via a radical–radical coupling strategy, enabled by a sequential intermolecular charge transfer and atom transfer steps, for synthesizing unnatural amino acids and modifying peptides.
