Abstract

We present a mild, highly efficient, and selective method for the aminolysis of acyl pyrazole at protein C termini. The protocol demonstrates a broad substrate scope, operational simplicity, and aqueous-compatible conditions. Its successful application to site-specific C-terminal modification and dual functionalization underscores its utility as a versatile platform for protein engineering.
