J Org Chem. 2023 Oct 6;88(19):14165-14171. doi: 10.1021/acs.joc.3c01897. Epub 2023 Sep 26.

Abstract

Site-selective C-H fluorination is an attractive strategy for directly transforming inert C-H bonds into C-F bonds, yet it remains a significant challenge. Herein, we have developed an efficient and versatile strategy for site-selective fluorination and amination of phenylalanine-containing peptides via late-stage Pd-catalyzed δ-C(sp2)-H activation, providing a valuable tool for the in situ synthesis of fluorinated indoline scaffolds within peptides.
