N→S Acyl transfer is a popular method for the postsynthesis production of peptide C α-thioesters for use in native chemical ligation and for the synthesis of head-to-tail cyclic peptides. Meanwhile thioester formation at the side chain of aspartic or glutamic acids, leading to tail-to-side-chain-cyclized species, is less common. Herein we explore the potential for cysteine to function as a latent thioester when appended to the side chain of glutamic acid. Initial insights gained through study of C-terminal β-alanine as a model for the increased chain length were ultimately applied to peptide macrocyclization. Our results emphasize the increased barrier to acyl transfer at the glutamic acid side chain and indicate how a slow reaction, facilitated by cysteine itself, may be accelerated by fine-tuning of the stereoelectronic environment.

The accessibility to collections, libraries and arrays of cyclic peptides is increasingly important since cyclic peptides may provide better mimics of the loop-like structures ubiquitously present in and – especially – on the surface of proteins.

We herein introduce a straightforward synthetic route to cysteine-containing cyclic peptides. It is based on the intramolecular native chemical ligation of thioesters generated in situ from N-Hnb-Cys crypto-thioesters. The strategy is applied to a representative range of natural cyclic disulfide-rich peptide sequences.

AbstractAutocatalytic and oscillatory networks of organic reactions are important for designing life-inspired materials and for better understanding the emergence of life on Earth; however, the diversity of the chemistries of these reactions is limited. In this work, we present the thiol-assisted formation of guanidines, which has a mechanism analogous to that of native chemical ligation. Using this reaction, we designed autocatalytic and oscillatory reaction networks that form substituted guanidines from thiouronium salts. The thiouronium salt-based oscillator show good stability of oscillations within a broad range of experimental conditions. By using nitrile-containing starting materials, we constructed an oscillator where the concentration of a bicyclic derivative of dihydropyrimidine oscillates. Moreover, the mixed thioester and thiouronium salt-based oscillator show unique responsiveness to chemical cues. The reactions developed in this work expand our toolbox for designing out-of-equilibrium chemical systems and link autocatalytic and oscillatory chemistry to the synthesis of guanidinium derivatives and the products of their transformations including analogs of nucleobases.
