Cu(I)- and Ru(II)-mediated "click" cyclization of tripeptides toward vancomycin-inspired mimics

Abstract

Structural mimics comprising 1,4- and 1,5-disubstituted triazole-containing cyclic tripeptides with excellent resemblance toward the DE-ring of vancomycin are conveniently accessible using Cu(I)- or Ru(II)-assisted "click" cyclization. © 2011 American Chemical Society.
