Visible-Light Mediated Tryptophan Modification in Oligopeptides Employing Acylsilanes
Reimler, Jannik,Studer, Armido
, p. 15392 - 15395 (2021/10/04)
A method for the selective tryptophan modification and labelling of tryptophan-containing peptides is described. Photoirradiation of acylsilanes generates reactive siloxycarbenes which undergo H?N-insertion into the indole moiety of tryptophan to give stable silyl protected hemiaminals. This method is successfully applied to chemically modify various tryptophan containing oligopeptides. The method enables the selective introduction of alkynes to peptides that are eligible for further alkyne-azide click chemistry. In addition, the dansyl fluorophore can be conjugated to a peptide using this approach.
Visible-Light-Induced Catalyst-Free Carboxylation of Acylsilanes with Carbon Dioxide

Intermolecular carbon-carbon bond formation between acylsilanes and carbon dioxide (CO2) was achieved by photoirradiation under catalyst-free conditions. In this reaction, siloxycarbenes generated by photoisomerization of the acylsilanes added to the C═O bond of CO2 to give α-ketocarboxylates, which underwent hydrolysis to afford α-ketocarboxylic derivatives in good yields. Control experiments suggest that the generated siloxycarbene is likely to be from the singlet state (S1) of the acylsilane and the addition to CO2 is not in a concerted manner.
Oxidative [1,2]-Brook Rearrangements Exploiting Single-Electron Transfer: Photoredox-Catalyzed Alkylations and Arylations
Deng, Yifan,Liu, Qi,Smith, Amos B.
, p. 9487 - 9490 (2017/07/24)
Oxidative [1,2]-Brook rearrangements via hypervalent silicon intermediates induced by photoredox-catalyzed single-electron transfer have been achieved, permitting the formation of reactive radical species that can engage in alkylations and arylations.
