Abstract
The use two different silylating reagents (HSi[OCH(CF3)2]3, MTBSTFA) in the presence of CsF and imidazole as catalysts enables a one-pot peptide bond-forming reaction via activation and transient masking at C-termini and N-termini, respectively. This versatile method tolerates various side chains, while providing excellent yields without any racemization or polymerization.
