Abstract

An irreversible, three-component assembly with 2-formylphenylboronic acid, catechol, and N-hydroxylamines was achieved in aqueous media. The boronate ester product was formed with substituted catechols including l-DOPA. Assembly was found to be orthogonal to common biological functional groups and both copper(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition and aminoether/carbonyl condensations. Boronate ester formation and aminoether condensation were achieved in one pot with a hexameric peptide.
