Significance

Cyclic peptides possess great ­potential for modulating challenging biological ­processes. The authors have developed a general method for the synthesis of cyclophane-braced peptide macrocycles through palladium-catalyzed C(sp3)–H arylation.

Comment

Cyclophane motifs with unusual structural and stereochemical complexity were obtained by the picolinamide-directed intramolecular γ-selective C(sp3)–H arylation of the N-termini of peptide substrates at both the methyl and methylene positions.
