A Perfluoroaryl-Cysteine S[subscript N]Ar Chemistry Approach to Unprotected Peptide Stapling

We report the discovery of a facile transformation between perfluoroaromatic molecules and a cysteine thiolate, which is arylated at room temperature. This new approach enabled us to selectively modify cysteine residues in unprotected peptides, providing access to variants containing rigid perfluoro...
