We report the synthesis of N-capped peptides under mild conditions using the oxidative aminocarbonylation of aryl iodides and peptide esters as nucleophiles in the solution phase. Ex situ chloroform in chamber A generates CO, which diffuses to chamber B, which contains other reactants. This method offers N-capped peptides at 80 °C for 12 h.

A pyrrole-fused analogue of warped nanographene, designated as deca-nitrogen doped 'WNG' (azaWNG), was synthesized through the annular fusion of decapyrroylcorannulene. The resulting azaWNG exhibited extremely limited solubility in common organic solvents and was characterized solely by mass spectrometry. Theoretical calculations revealed that azaWNG has a sunflower-like molecular structure with electron-deficient corannulene as the core and electron-rich pyrrole as the petals, demonstrating a significantly narrower energy gap compared to all-carbon WNG.
