Abstract
This Feature Article discusses recent advances in the development of cascade ring expansion reactions for the synthesis of medium-sized rings and macrocycles. Cascade ring expansion reactions have much potential for use in the synthesis of biologically important medium-sized rings and macrocycles, most notably as they don't require high dilution conditions, which are commonly used in established end-to-end macrocyclisation methods. Operation by cascade ring expansion method can allow large ring products to be accessed via rearrangements that proceed exclusively by normal-sized ring cyclisation steps. Ensuring that there is adequate thermodynamic driving force for ring expansion is a key challenge when designing such methods, especially for the expansion of normal-sized rings into medium-sized rings. This Article is predominantly focused on methods developed in our own laboratory, with selected works by other groups also discussed. Thermodynamic considerations, mechanism, reaction design, route planning and future perspective for this field are all covered.

Abstract
Site-selective transformations of densely functionalized scaffolds have been a topic of intense interest in chemical synthesis. Herein we have repurposed the rarely used Cornforth rearrangement as a tool to effect a single-atom ring contraction in cyclic peptide backbones. Investigations into the kinetics of the rearrangement were carried out to understand the impact of electronic factors, ring size, and linker type on the reaction efficiency. Conformational analysis was undertaken and showed how subtle differences in the peptide backbone result in substrate-dependent reaction profiles. This methodology can now be used to perform conformation-activity studies. The chemistry also offers an opportunity to install building blocks that are not compatible with traditional C-to-N iterative synthesis of macrocycle precursors.

Abstract
The addition of carbamoyl anions to azirines affords synthetically useful 2-aziridinyl amide building blocks. The reaction scope was explored with respect to both formamide and azirine, and the addition was found to be highly diastereoselective. A one-pot conversion of a ketoxime to an aziridinyl amide was demonstrated. The method was employed to incorporate an aziridine residue into a dipeptide segment.

Abstract
The AgI -promoted reaction of thiolactams with N-Boc amino acids yields an N-(α-aminoacyl) lactam that can rearrange through an acyl transfer process. Boc-deprotection results in convergence to the ring-expanded adduct, thereby facilitating an overall insertion of an amino acid into the thioamide bond to generate medium-sized heterocycles. Application to the site-specific insertion of amino acids into cyclic peptides is demonstrated.

Abstract
The synthesis of rare macrocyclic alkynediyl sulfides by a Cu-catalyzed Csp -S cross-coupling is presented. The catalytic protocol (Cu(MeCN)4 PF6 /dtbbpy) promotes macrocyclization of peptides, dipeptides and tripeptides at ambient temperature (14 examples, 23→73 % yields) via thiols and bromoalkynes, and is chemoselective with regards to terminal alkynes. Importantly, the underexplored alkynediyl sulfide functionality incorporates a rigidifying structural element and opens new opportunities for diversification of macrocyclic frameworks through S oxidation, halide addition and azide-alkyne cycloaddition chemistries to integrate sulfones, halides or valuable fluorophores (7 examples, 37→92 % yields).

Abstract
AbstractAzido acids are important synthons for the synthesis of complex peptides. As a protecting group, the azide moiety is atom-efficient, easy to install and can be reduced in the presence of many other protecting groups, making it ideal for the synthesis of branched and/or cyclic peptides. α-Azido acids are less bulky than urethane-protected counterparts and react more effectively in coupling reactions of difficult-to-form peptide and ester bonds. Azido acids can also be used to form azoles on complex intermediates.

Abstract
A straightforward synthesis of enantiopure α-trifluoromethyl aziridine-2-carboxylic acid (α-TfmAzy) is reported from a trifluoropyruvate derived enantiopure oxazolidine. A key Strecker-type synthetic step and a late cyanide basic hydrolysis gave the target compounds in six steps and 41% yield. A final peptide coupling was performed to demonstrate the usefulness of this highly constrained fluorinated unnatural amino acid.

Abstract
The syntheses of peptidoglycan (PG)-derived peptides containing meso-diaminopimelic acid (meso-Dap) are typically quite lengthy due to the need to prepare orthogonally protected meso-Dap. In this work, the preparation of the PG pentapeptide containing the isosteric analog meso-oxa-Dap is described. The synthesis relies on the ring opening of a peptide embedded aziridine via the attack of a serine residue. The pentapeptide was attached to a GlcNAc-anhydro-MurNAc disaccharide, to produce a putative substrate for the AmpG pore protein.

Abstract
The enzymes Csd6 and Pgp2 are peptidoglycan (PG) proteases found in the pathogenic bacteria Helicobacter pylori and Campylobacter jejuni, respectively. These enzymes are involved in the trimming of non-crosslinked PG sidechains and catalyze the cleavage of the bond between meso-diaminopimelic acid (meso-Dap) and d-alanine, thus converting a PG tetrapeptide into a PG tripeptide. They are known to be cell-shape-determining enzymes, because deletion of the corresponding genes results in mutant strains that have lost the normal helical phenotype and instead possess a straight-rod morphology. In this work, we report two approaches directed towards the synthesis of the tripeptide substrate Ac-iso-d-Glu-meso-oxa-Dap-d-Ala, which serves as a mimic of the terminus of an non-crosslinked PG tetrapeptide substrate. The isosteric analogue meso-oxa-Dap was utilized in place of meso-Dap to simplify the synthetic procedure. The more efficient synthesis involved ring opening of a peptide-embedded aziridine by a serine-based nucleophile. A branched tetrapeptide was also prepared as a mimic of the terminus of a crosslinked PG tetrapeptide. We used MS analysis to demonstrate that the tripeptide serves as a substrate for both Csd6 and Pgp2 and that the branched tetrapeptide serves as a substrate for Pgp2, albeit at a significantly slower rate.

Abstract
In the past decade, multicomponent reactions have experienced a renaissance as powerful peptide macrocyclization tools enabling the rapid creation of skeletal complexity and diversity with low synthetic cost. This review provides both a historical and modern overview of the development of the peptide multicomponent macrocyclization as a strategy capable to compete with the classic peptide cyclization methods in terms of chemical efficiency and synthetic scope. We prove that the utilization of multicomponent reactions for cyclizing peptides by either their termini or side chains provides a key advantage over those more established methods; that is, the possibility to explore the cyclic peptide chemotype space not only at the amino acid sequence but also at the ring-forming moiety. Owing to its multicomponent nature, this type of peptide cyclization process is well-suited to generate diversity at both the endo- and exo-cyclic fragments formed during the ring-closing step, which stands as a distinctive and useful characteristic for the creation and screening of cyclic peptide libraries. Examples of the novel multicomponent peptide stapling approach and heterocycle ring-forming macrocyclizations are included, along with multicomponent methods incorporating macrocyclization handles and the one-pot syntheses of macromulticyclic peptide cages. Interesting applications of this strategy in the field of drug discovery and chemical biology are provided.

Abstract
A catalytic regio- and enantioselective haloazidation reaction with a chiral iron(II) complex catalyst under mild reaction conditions was reported. By this approach, the stereoselective α-halo-β-azido difunctionalization of both α,β-unsaturated amides and α,β-unsaturated esters was achieved. This method enabled the construction of a broad spectrum of valuable functionalized amides and esters, including enantiomerically enriched β-azido amides, aziridine amides, α-amino amide derivatives, β-triazole amides, functionalized peptide derivatives, and α-halo-β-azido-substituted esters.

Abstract
Bridged lactams represent the most effective and wide-ranging method of constraining the amide bond in a non-planar conformation. A previous comprehensive review on this topic was published in 2013 (Chem. Rev.2013, 113, 5701–5765). In the present review, which is published as a part of the Special Issue on Amide Bond Activation, we present an overview of the recent developments in the field of bridged lactams that have taken place in the last five years and present a critical assessment of the current status of bridged lactams in synthetic and physical organic chemistry. This review covers the period from 2014 until the end of 2018 and is intended as an update to Chem. Rev.2013, 113, 5701–5765. In addition to bridged lactams, the review covers recent advances in the chemistry of bridged sultams, bridged enamines and related non-planar structures.

Abstract
A new protocol for PTC-mediated O-alkylation of the intraannular position of 20-membered unclosed cryptands (UCs) is reported. In contrast to the classical, "direct" strategy, which requires functionalization of the lariat arm at the beginning of synthesis, this "indirect" approach enables the late-stage introduction of various benzylic substituents after an unfavorable macrocyclization step (11 examples, yields up to 98%). Notably, this method permits preparation of, previously inaccessible, crowded UCs bearing 1-acetylpyrene substituent and dimer joined by p-xylene linker.

Abstract
Cyclic tetrapeptides comprise a potent and selective class of molecules with a wide range of biological activities, including the phytotoxic activity of tentoxin and the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitory effects of chlamydocin. The incorporation of a functional aziridine group within cyclic peptides enables their conformational control and allows for late-stage and site-selective functionalization of these molecules, thereby creating the potential for covalent protein labeling. This protocol describes the solid-phase synthesis, cyclization, and site-specific structural modification of aziridine-containing tetrapeptides. The linear precursors are assembled by solid-phase peptide synthesis using Fmoc-protected amino acid building blocks, followed by head-to-tail peptide cyclization. Cyclization is performed using a slow reverse-addition method that prevents the formation of undesired higher-order cyclo-oligomeric side products. Site-specific structural modification of the resulting macrocycles is described using sodium azide or thiophenol as representative examples. It requires ∼4 d to prepare peptide macrocycles from their respective Fmoc-protected amino acid starting materials, an improvement upon the 3 weeks required for conventional solution-phase methods. This protocol also addresses important considerations regarding the handling of these compounds, whose electrophilic aziridine functionalities can otherwise be prone to undesired side reactions. With recent developments in aziridine-containing macrocyclic peptide synthesis and the potential for covalent protein labeling, these scaffolds represent a valuable addition to many screening libraries, and we expect that access to these macrocycles will facilitate efforts in drug discovery and molecular probe development.

Abstract
Medium-sized rings are widely considered to be under-represented in biological screening libraries for lead identification in medicinal chemistry. To help address this, a library of medium-sized lactams has been generated by using a simple, scalable and versatile ring-expansion protocol. Analysis of the library by using open-access computational tool LLAMA suggested that these lactams and their derivatives have highly promising physicochemical and 3D spatial properties and thus have much potential in drug discovery.

Abstract
A new multicomponent methodology for the solution- and solid-phase macrocyclization of peptides is described. The approach comprises the utilization of the Ugi-Smiles reaction for the cyclization of 3-nitrotyrosine-containing peptides either by the N-terminus or the lysine side-chain amino groups. Both the on-resin and solution cyclizations took place with good to excellent efficiency in the presence of an aldehyde and a lipidic isocyanide, while the use of paraformaldehyde required an aminocatalysis-mediated imine formation prior to the on-resin Ugi-Smiles ring closure. The introduction of a turn motif in the peptide sequence facilitated the cyclization step, shortened the reaction time, and delivered crude products with >90% purity. This powerful method provided a variety of structurally novel N-aryl-bridged cyclic lipopeptides occurring as single atropisomers.

Abstract
Peptide ligation and macrocyclization are among the most relevant approaches in the field of peptide chemistry. Whereas a variety of strategies relying on coupling reagents and native chemical ligation are available, there is a continuous need for efficient peptide ligation and cyclization methods. Herein we report on the utilization of convertible isonitriles as effective synthetic tools for the ligation and macrocyclization of peptides arising from isocyanide-based multicomponent reactions. The strategy relies on the use of convertible isonitriles-derived from Fukuyama amines-and peptide carboxylic acids in Ugi and Passerini reactions to afford N-alkylated peptides and depsipeptides, respectively, followed by conversion of the C-terminal amide onto either N-peptidoacyl indoles or pyrroles. Such activated peptides proved efficient in the ligation to peptidic, lipidic and fluorescently labeled amines and in macrocyclization protocols. As a result, a wide set of N-substituted peptides (with methyl, glycosyl and amino acids as N-substituents), cyclic N-methylated peptides and a depsipeptide were produced in good yields using conditions that involve either classical heating or microwave irradiation. This report improves the repertoire of peptide covalent modification methods by exploiting the synthetic potential of multicomponent reactions and convertible isonitriles.

Abstract
The synthesis of novel cyclic depsipeptide mimics by means of an organocatalytic conjugate addition, leading to chiral cyclic hemiacetals, followed by a multicomponent reaction with α-amino acids and isocyanides, is described. The initial organocatalytic step is employed for the asymmetric derivatization of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes to 4,5-disubstituted 2-hydroxytetrahydropyrans, which are next used as chiral bifunctional substrates on the Ugi five-center three-component reaction, giving rise to nine-membered-ring lactones. This sequential approach proved to be suitable for the rapid generation of molecular complexity through the combination of aliphatic, dipeptidic, glucosidic, and lipidic isocyanides with several amino acids, thus giving access to amido-, glyco-, and lipo-depsipeptide scaffolds featuring natural product-like structures.

Abstract
Structurally diverse macrocycles and medium-sized rings (9-24 membered scaffolds, 22 examples) can be generated through a telescoped acylation/ring-expansion sequence, leading to the insertion of linear fragments into cyclic β-ketoesters without performing a discrete macrocyclization step. The key β-ketoester motif is regenerated in the ring-expanded product, meaning that the same sequence of steps can then be repeated (in theory indefinitely) with other linear fragments, allowing macrocycles with precise substitution patterns to be "grown" from smaller rings using the successive ring-expansion (SuRE) method.

Abstract
In the modern age of proteomics, vast numbers of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are being identified as causative agents in pathogenesis, and are thus attractive therapeutic targets for intervention. Although traditionally regarded unfavorably as druggable agents relative to small molecules, peptides in recent years have gained considerable attention. Their previous dismissal had been largely due to the susceptibility of unmodified peptides to the barriers and pressures exerted by the circulation, immune system, proteases, membranes and other stresses. However, recent advances in high-throughput peptide isolation techniques, as well as a huge variety of direct modification options and approaches to allow targeted delivery, mean that peptides and their mimetics can now be designed to circumvent many of these traditional barriers. As a result, an increasing number of peptide-based drugs are reaching clinical trials and patients beyond.

Abstract
A new solid-phase protocol for the synthesis of N-substituted and tetrazolo peptides is described. The strategy relies on the combination of aminocatalysis-mediated on-resin Ugi reactions and peptide couplings for the N-alkylation of peptides at selected sites, including the N-terminal double lipidation, the simultaneous lipidation/biotinylation, and the steroid/lipid conjugation via tetrazole ring formation. The solid-phase Ugi four-component reactions were enabled by on-resin transimination steps prior to addition of the acid and isocyanide components. The strategy proved to be suitable for the feasible incorporation of complex N-substituents at both termini and at internal positions, which is not easily achievable by other solid-phase methods.

Abstract
A noticeable increase in molecular complexity of drug targets has created an unmet need in the therapeutic agents that are larger than traditional small molecules. Macrocycles, which are cyclic compounds comprising 12 atoms or more, are now recognized as molecules that "are up to the task" to interrogate extended protein interfaces. However, because macrocycles (particularly the ones based on peptides) are equipped with large polar surface areas, achieving cellular permeability and bioavailability is anything but straightforward. While one might consider this to be the Achilles' heel of this class of compounds, the synthetic community continues to develop creative approaches toward the synthesis of macrocycles and their site-selective modification. This perspective provides an overview of both mechanistic and structural issues that bear on macrocycles as a unique class of molecules. The reader is offered a historical foray into some of the classic studies that have resulted in the current renaissance of macrocycles. In addition, an attempt is made to overview the more recent developments that give hope that macrocycles might indeed turn into a useful therapeutic modality.
