Abstract
Shifting around: A rapid one-pot preparation of a backbone cyclic peptide from peptidyl-tRNA, which has been ejected from the ribosome is described. A series of intramolecular rearrangements release tRNA and afford 1. A cyclization gives 2 and on enzymatic removal of the formylated methionine (fM) the backbone cyclic peptide is generated.
