An enantioselective vinylcyclopropane ring-opening/cycloaddition cascade is described. The active thiyl radical catalysts are generated in situ via UV light-promoted homolysis of cystine-based dimers. Amide-functionalization of the peptide at the 4-proline position is essential for effective asymmetric induction. Stereochemical communication is dependent on steric interactions with this substituent that are enforced by H-bonding to the peptide backbone.
本文描述了一种对映选择性的乙烯基环丙烷开环/环加成级联反应。通过胱氨酸二聚体的紫外光促进均裂原位生成活性硫自由基催化剂。在 4-脯氨酸位置对肽进行酰胺官能化对于有效不对称诱导是必不可少的。立体化学通讯取决于与该取代基的立体相互作用,这种相互作用通过与肽主链的氢键而得到加强。
