Peptide‐Carbazolyl Cyanobenzene Conjugates: Enabling Biomolecule Functionalization via Photoredox and Energy Transfer Catalysis

Jérôme Waser, Beat Fierz, Anne-Sophie Chauvin, Xingyu Liu, Wei Cai

Since their discovery in 2012, carbazolyl (iso)phthalonitrile derivatives (Cz(I)PN) have found significant applications as photocatalysts in organic chemistry. Herein, we introduce two efficient methods for incorporating carbazolyl cyanobenzenes into vario ...

Integration of Hypervalent Iodine Reagents and Carbazolyl Cyanobenzenes-Based Dyes into Peptides: New Opportunities for Biomolecule Functionalization

Xingyu Liu

Modulating PPIs has been regarded as a promising strategy for the next-generation therapeutics. Medium-size peptide drugs are highly promising for targeting PPIs due to their potential target specificity as big biologics but with smaller sizes. To enhance ...

Peptide-Hypervalent Iodine Reagent Chimeras: Enabling Peptide Functionalization and Macrocyclization

Jérôme Waser, Christian Heinis, Xinjian Ji, Xingyu Liu

Herein, we report a novel strategy for the modification of peptides based on the introduction of highly reactive hypervalent iodine reagents-ethynylbenziodoxolones (EBXs)-onto peptides. These peptide-EBXs can be readily accessed, by both solution- and soli ...

One-pot synthesis of functionalized bis(trifluoromethylated)benziodoxoles from iodine(i) precursors

Jérôme Waser, Nieves Pilar Ramirez Hernandez, Tobias Michael Milzarek, Xingyu Liu

Bis(trifluoromethylated)benziodoxoles (Bx) are broadly used cyclic hypervalent iodine reagents due to their stability and unique chemical properties. However, current methods to access them require several steps and long reaction times, making their synthe ...

Synthesis of Fluorescent Cyclic Peptides via Gold(I)-Catalyzed Macrocyclization

Jérôme Waser, Aleksandra Radenovic, Beat Fierz, Nathan Cyprien Arsène Ronceray, Xingyu Liu, Wei Cai

Rapid and efficient cyclization methods that form structurally novel peptidic macrocycles are of high importance for medicinal chemistry. Herein, we report the first gold(I)-catalyzed macrocyclization of peptide-EBXs (ethynylbenziodoxolones) via C2-Trp C–H ...
