Table 1 Development of a method for installing N-Boc proline residue on 8-methylphenanthridine*.

From: Installing amino acids and peptides on N-heterocycles under visible-light assistance

  1. *Reaction conditions: under Ar atmosphere and irradiation of visible light, N-Boc-Pro-OPht (1r) (0.30 mmol), 1-isocyano-(p-phenyl)-benzene (2a) (0.15 mmol), catalyst (1.5 μmol), amine (0.03–0.15 mmol), base (0.18 mmol), solvent (2.0 mL), temperature (rt, ~25 oC), time (2 h) in a sealed Schlenk tube. Conversion yield by 1H NMR determination using trichloroethylene as the internal standard. No addition of reagent. §Isolated yield. Under air. Under irradiation of blue LED. ζNo light. DIPEA = diisopropylethylamine. DCE = 1,2-dichloroethane. DMA = N, N- Dimethylaniline. CFL = compact fluorescent light.
