Thioacetic Acid/NaSH-Mediated Synthesis of N-Protected Amino Thioacids and Their Utility in Peptide Synthesis
摘要:
Thioacids are recently gaining momentum due to their versatile reactivity. The reactivity of thioacids has been widely explored in the selective amide/peptide bond formation. Thioacids are generally synthesized from the reaction between activated carboxylic acids such as acid chlorides, active esters, etc., and Na2S, H2S, or NaSH. We sought to investigate whether the versatile reactivity of the thioacids can be tuned for the conversion of carboxylic acids into corresponding thioacids in the presence of NaSH. Herein, we report that thioacetic acid- and NaSH-mediated synthesis of N-protected amino thioacids from the corresponding N-protected amino acids, oxidative dimerization of thioacids, crystal conformations of thioacid oxidative dimers, and the utility of thioacids and oxidative dimers in peptide synthesis. Our results suggest that peptides can be synthesized without using standard coupling agents.

Extremely strong nonionic superbases of the type P(RNCH(2)CH(2))(3)Ncatalyze the transesterification of carboxylic acid esters with high selectivity and yields at 25 degrees C. These bases also catalyze the deacetylation of alcohols undermildconditions in quantitative yields. Using enol acetates as acylating agents, primary and secondary alcohols are efficiently protected as acetates through the
A general, efficient and environmentally friendly procedure for the synthesis of 2,5-piperazinediones is described, involving the microwave irradiation of N-Boc dipeptide esters.
