Cysteinederivatives having diazo ketone and chloro ketone functions have been prepared. In order to effect adequate protection for modifying the carboxyl group, cysteine was converted to a thiazolidine derivative I, which was then converted to the N-acetyl derivative VII. The active ester method or activation with DCC yielded the diazo ketone derivative VIII. Similar treatment of the parent compound
Disulphide bonds are formed at the sulphur atom of Cys(R) sulphoxides intermolecularly as well as intramolecularly, following liberation of the SH group from the co-reactant, Cys(R′), by a suitable acid.
