A convenient one-pot method for the synthesis of N-Boc protected S- alkylcysteines, useful intermediates for the solution-phase synthesis of glutathione-conjugates and modified peptides is presented, together with the reactivity of epoxides, halohydrins and α-halo carbonyl derivatives towards the sulfur nucleophile of the substrate. The reactions with α-halo esters lead to thiomorpholinocarboxylic acids which are interesting potential inhibitors of transport systems.

Mild unmasking of the thiol group of the linear tripeptide N-chloroacetyl-S-t-butylthio-L-cysteinyl-L-phenylalanyl-L-proline p-nitrophenyl ester (8) with tributylphosphine in aqueous solution at room temperature gave, in one step, the tetrahedral adduct (aza-cyclol) (13).The same adduct was obtained starting from (R)-5-oxothiomorpholin-3-ylcarbonyl-L-phenylalanyl-L-proline p-nitrophenyl ester (12).The conformationally rigid polycyclic skeleton stabilizes the structure of the aza-cyclol (13) which is an example of a tetrahedral adduct derived from amide-amide interaction.Relevant conformational details, as revealed by an X-ray crystallographic analysis, are: the proline ring adopts a Cs-Cβendo conformation; the phenylalanine side-chain is extended towards its nitrogen; the proline Hα and hydroxylic hydrogen atom are in the characteristic planar W conformation.
