diazoacetates with cysteine residues that enabled metal‐free, S−H functionalization under visible‐light conditions. Moreover, this process could be intensified by a continuous‐flow photomicroreactor on the acceleration of the reaction (6.5 min residence time). The batch and flow protocols described were applied to obtain a wide range of functionalized cysteine derivatives and cysteine‐containing dipeptides
Continuous-flow processes for the <i>S</i>-alkynylation of cysteine-containing peptides and thioglycosides under catalyst-free, oxidant-free and mild conditions
report the design and synthesis of hypervalent trifluoromethylthio-iodine(III) reagent 1 and the elucidation of its structure by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The trifluoromethylthiolation reactions of 1 with various nucleophiles were explored, and this compound was found to be a versatile electrophilicreagent for the transfer of a trifluoromethylthio group (-SCF3). The hydrogen-bonding
Prodrugs (I) and (Ia) of galiellactone, and derivatives thereof, are provided by reacting the parent compound, e.g. galiellactone, with a thiol. Such drugs may be administered orally to treat cancer and other proliferative diseases.
When dimethylmethylthiosulfonium triflate (DMTST) is added to a tert-butyl-protected thiol (RSt-Bu), the unsymmetrical disulfide RSSMe is formed. At this point the free thiol (RSH) can be obtained by the addition of trimethylphosphine and water. Most byproducts are small organic molecules that are easily removed.
