The nickel(II)-catalyzed ortho-arylation of unactivated C–H bonds utilizing amino acids as directing groups with aryl iodides or bromides as coupling electrophiles is described. This protocol features excellent mono-selectivity, good regioselectivity, and wide functional group tolerance. Additionally, the obtained products bearing a biaryl motif and an amino acid represent bioactive molecules with

Rhodesain, the major cathepsin L-like cysteine protease in the protozoan Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, the causative agent of African sleeping sickness, is a well-validated drug target. In this work, we used a fragment-based approach to identify inhibitors of this cysteine protease, and identified inhibitors of T. brucei. To discover inhibitors active against rhodesain and T. brucei, we screened a library of covalent fragments against rhodesain and conducted preliminary SAR studies. We envision that in vitro enzymatic assays will further expand the use of the covalent tethering method, a simple fragment-based drug discovery technique to discover covalent drug leads.
