A new bio-inspired approach is reported for amide and peptide synthesis using α-amino esters that possess a potential activating group (PAG) at the ester residue. To activate the ester functionality under mild metal-free conditions, we exploited the facile dearomatization of phenols with hypervalent iodine(iii) reagents. Using a pyridine-hydrogen fluoride complex, highly reactive acyl fluoride intermediates can be successfully generated, thereby allowing for the smooth formation of sterically hindered amides and peptides from bulky amines and α-amino esters, respectively.

The deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB) UCHL1 is implicated in various disease states including neurodegenerative disease and cancer. However, there is a lack of quality probe molecules to gain a better understanding on UCHL1 biology. To this end a study was carried out to fully characterize and optimize the irreversible covalent UCHL1 inhibitor VAEFMK. Structure-activity relationship studies identified modifications to improve activity versus the target and a full cellular characterization was carried out for the first time with this scaffold. The studies produced a new inhibitor, 34, with an IC50 value of 7.7 μM against UCHL1 and no observable activity versus the closest related DUB UCHL3. The molecule was also capable of selectively inhibiting UCHL1 in cells and did not demonstrate any discernible off-target toxicity. Finally, the molecule was used for initial probe studies to assess the role of UCHL1 role in proliferation of myeloma cells and migration behavior in small cell lung cancer cells making 34 a new tool to be used in the biological evaluation of UCHL1.

Synthesis of selenoxo peptides by the treatment of Nα- protected peptide esters with a combination of PCl5 and LiAlHSeH is delineated. The method is simple, high-yielding, and free from racemization. Thus obtained selenoxo peptides are used as units for N-terminal chain extension through Nα-deprotection/coupling to yield peptide-selenoxo peptide hybrids. Multiple selenation is demonstrated by conversion of two peptide bonds of tripeptides into selenoxo peptide bonds. Amino acid derived arylamides are also converted into aryl selenoamides. C6H 5-CSeNH-Val-OMe 8f is obtained as single crystal, and its structure was determined through X-ray diffraction study.

Chemoenzymatic peptide synthesis is potentially the most cost-efficient technology for the synthesis of short and medium-sized peptides with some important advantages. For instance, stoichiometric amounts of expensive coupling reagents are not required and racemisation does not occur rendering purification easier compared to chemical peptide synthesis. In this paper, a novel interconversion reaction of peptide C-terminal α-carboxamides into primary alkyl esters with alcalase was used to develop a fully enzymatic peptide synthesis strategy. For each elongation step a cost-efficient amino acid carboxamide building block was used followed by the interconversion of the elongated peptide carboxamide to the corresponding primary alkyl ester. These peptide esters are the starting materials for the next enzymatic peptide elongation step. Copyright

Ethyl propiolate has been used to activate N-protected amino acids to form a moderately activated vinyl-ester which aminolysis requires a catalytic amount of sodium bisulfite.
N-tert-Butylglyoxylicamide, the New Reagent for Peptide Segment Coupling by Four-Component Reaction

In contrast to the use of other aldehyd components, the Tetra Component Reactions (4CR) of carboxyl acids and primary amines with combinations of N-tert-butylglyoxylicamide and isocyanides produce carbonamides that yield the desired stereochemically unifo
KINETICS OF THE ALKALINE HYDROLYSIS OF SEVERAL N-BENZYLOXYCARBONYLDIPEPTIDE METHYL AND ETHYL ESTERS

The reaction rates of the alkaline hydrolysis of synthesized N-protected dipeptide methyl and ethyl esters were studied systematically.From the kinetic data the energies of activation, the pre-exponential factors and the reference values at 40 deg C were calculated.The rate of hydrolysis shows to be strongly dependent on the C-terminal amino acid in the sequence Gly >> Ala/Met/Phe > Leu >> Val/Pro.Surprisingly the N-terminal amino acid also exerts an effect, but in a different sequence.N-Terminal Phe in particular shows a relative accelerating effect.Remarkable is the significantly faster ester hydrolysis of glycine containing dipeptide ethyl esters in ethanol/water compared to the corresponding methyl esters in methanol/water.
