Expedient Synthesis of N1-Substituted Triazole Peptidomimetics

A general procedure for the rapid diversification of peptide scaffolds is described. A one-pot click reaction between a peptide-alkyne and a series of in situ generated aryl/alkyl azides affords novel N1-substituted triazole peptidomimetics. This transformation is of broad scope, operates under mild conditions, and is parallel chemical synthesis compatible.
