A first study is reported of optimization of a template bridging an oxygen ester with mercury that facilitates intramolecular O,N-acyl transfer from a phenolic oxygen to the amino group of a cysteine residue that is functionalized at sulfur as an arylmercuri complex.Respective effective molarities (EM values) of 0.28, ca. 0.6, and 0.0 are observed for the following three arylmercuri complexes: methyl S-((4-acetoxy-6-phenoxathiinyl)mercuri)-L-cysteinate (9), methyl S-((5-acetoxy-1,3-dimethoxy-2-methyl-9-oxoxanth-4-yl)mercuri)-L-cysteinate (10), and methyl S-((4-acetoxydibenzofuran-6-yl)mercuri)-L-cysteinate (11).Syntheses of these compounds are reported, and the structural significance of the EM values for transition states of the acyl-transfer reactions is discussed.The observed reactivity pattern is consistent with a linear geometry at the mercury atom and a geometry about the forming C-N bond of other than the trans, anti relationship that has been observed for intermolecular acyl-transfer reactions.

A central feature of the strategy for amide bond formation by prior thiol capture is an intramolecular acyl transfer across a template that links the phenolic ester function of one peptide with an unsymmetrical disulfide involving the side chain of the N-terminal cysteine residue of a second peptide.The structures of the 4-hydroxy-6-mercaptodibenzofuran (3) and 4-hydroxy-6-mercaptophenoxythiin (4) are established by 1H NMR spectra of deuterated dibenzofuran and phenoxythiin derivatives.On the basis of the criterion of effective molarity, a dibenzofuran template for intramolecular acyl transfer is shown to be approximately 2 orders of magnitude more efficient than a phenoxythiin.An effective local concentration of ca. 5 M and a Hammett ρ value of 2.6 are observed for the intramolecular acyl-transfer reaction 1 -> 2.
