Smooth operation : C‐terminal peptide activation with full stereointegrity was accomplished using a copper(II)‐mediated coupling reaction of carboxylic acids with arylboroxines (see scheme, NCL = native chemical ligation, Boc =  tert ‐butoxycarbonyl). This method allows epimerization‐free activation and ligation of peptides with racemization‐prone phenylglycine at the C terminus.
