The path less taken : Copolymerization of imines and carbon monoxide has long been highly desirable as a route to synthesize polypeptides, but has been difficult to implement because of the lack of appropriate catalysts. This reaction has now been realized for the first time by using a simple cobalt catalyst (see scheme).
