Abstract

HSi[OCH(CF3)2]3 catalyzes a reliable protocol for peptide bond formation in high yield that is generally applicable to natural and unnatural α-amino acids, β-amino acids, and peptides bearing various functional groups. This method facilitates the sustainable utilization of natural resources by using a catalyst and an auxiliary based on earth-abundant silicon.
