We report the catalytic direct peptide bond formations via dehydrative condensation of β-hydroxy-α-amino acids, affording the serine, threonine, or β-hydroxyvaline-derived peptides in high to excellent yields with high functional group tolerance, minimum epimerization, and excellent chemoselectivity. The key to the success of these atom-economical transformations is the use of diboronic acid anhydride catalyst for the hydroxy-directed reactions.
