Abstract
English
The focus of this thesis was set on the late-stage modification of peptides through transition metal-free and palladium-catalyzed C–H arylations. At first, the scope of the transition metal-free C2-arylation of the indolylacetamid moiety incorporated into peptides as a tag at the N-terminus with diaryliodonium tosylates was explored. Thereafter, the direct C–H arylation of tryptophan-containing peptides with diaryliodonium tosylates under palladium catalysis was accomplished. Finally, the palladium-catalyzed arylation of primary and secondary C(sp3)–H bonds of amino acids and peptides with aryl iodides using triazole assistance was investigated. The developed procedures had a broad scope with excellent functional group tolerance enabling peptide ligation and labeling with fluorophores.
