Chemical ligations to form native peptides from N→N acyl migrations in Trp-containing peptides via 10- to 18-membered cyclic transition states are described. In this study, a statistical, predictive model that uses an extensive synthetic and computational approach to rationalize the chemical ligation is reported. N→N acyl migrations that form longer native peptides without the use of Cys/Ser/Tyr residues or an auxiliary group at the ligation site were achieved. The feasibility of these traceless chemical ligations is supported by the N-C bond distance in N-acyl isopeptides. The intramolecular nature of the chemical ligations is justified by using competitive experiments and theoretical calculations. Going the distance: Chemical ligations to form native peptides from N→N acyl migrations in Trp-containing peptides via 10- to 18-membered cyclic transition states are described (see scheme; Bn: benzyl; Z: benzyloxycarbonyl). The ligations are achieved without the use of Cys/Ser/Tyr residues or an auxiliary group. This new approach represents a significant development in the field.

N-Acyl tryptophan isopeptides undergo acyl transfer in chemical ligations via 7-, 10-, 11- and 12-membered cyclic transition states to yield natural peptides, representing the first examples of successful isopeptide ligations from N-acyl tryptophan units.
