Copper-Catalyzed Alkynylation of Hydrazides: An Easy Access to Functionalized Azadipeptides

Jérôme Waser, Eliott Hugo Joran Le Du, Julien Aymeric Borrel

We report a copper-catalyzed alkynylation of azadipeptides using ethynylbenziodoxolone (EBX) reagents. Nonsymmetrical ynehydrazides could be obtained in 25–97% yield using azaglycine derivatives as nucleophiles. The transformation is compatible with most f ...
