Organometallic reagents primed for peptide modification

Abstract

In this issue of Chem Catalysis , Walczak and co-workers introduce a carbastannatrane alanine derivative that facilitates amino acid side-chain functionalizations via C–C, C–S, and C–Se bond formation using Stille cross-coupling reactions. Applications in late-stage peptide modifications and macrocyclizations further exemplify the value of this novel building block.
