OLEFIN METATHESIS REACTIONS OF AMINO ACIDS, PEPTIDES AND PROTEINS CONTAINING ALLYL SULFIDE GROUPS
-
Page/Page column 6, (2012/07/27)
A method for the modification of an amino acid, protein or peptide is disclosed. The method comprises reacting a carbon-carbon double bond-containing compound with an amino acid, a protein or a peptide containing an allyl sulfide group in the presence of a catalyst which promotes olefin metathesis, to form a modified amino acid, protein or peptide. Preferred carbon-carbon double bond-containing compounds include carbohydrates.

Allyl sulfides undergo efficient cross-metathesis in aqueous media with Hoveyda-Grubbs second generation catalyst 1. The high reactivity of allyl sulfides in cross-metathesis was exploited in the first examples of cross-metathesis on a protein surface. S-Allylcysteine was incorporated chemically into the protein, providing the requisite allyl sulfide handle. Preliminary efforts to genetically incorporate S-allylcysteine into proteins are also reported. Copyright

Primary allylic selenosulfates (seleno Bunte salts) and selenocyanates transfer the allylic selenide moiety to thiols giving primary allylic selenosulfides, which undergo rearrangement in the presence of PPh3 with the loss of selenium to give allylically rearranged allyl alkyl sulfides. This rearrangement may be conducted with prenyl-type selenosulfides to give isoprenyl alkyl sulfides. Alkyl secondary and tertiary allylic disulfides, formed by sulfide transfer from allylic heteroaryl disulfides to thiols, undergo desulfurative allylic rearrangement on treatment with PPh3 in methanolic acetonitrile at room temperature. With nerolidyl alkyl disulfides this rearrangement provides an electrophile-free method for the introduction of the farnesyl chain onto thiols. Both rearrangements are compatible with the full range of functionality found in the proteinogenic amino acids, and it is demonstrated that the desulfurative rearrangement functions in aqueous media, enabling the derivatization of unprotected peptides. It is also demonstrated that the allylic disulfide rearrangement can be induced in the absence of phosphine at room temperature by treatment with piperidine, or simply by refluxing in methanol. Under these latter conditions the reaction is also applicable to allyl aryl disulfides, providing allylically rearranged allyl aryl sulfides in good yields.

Alkylation of potassium selenosulfate with allylic halides gives Se-allyl seleno Bunte salts. On reaction with thiols at room temperature, these afford mixed dialkyl selenosulfides, which undergo 2,3-sigmatropic rearrangement with loss of selenium, either spontaneously or with assistance by triphenylphosphine, thereby providing mixed dialkyl sulfides and a new permanent chemical ligation method. The process is illustrated through the lipidation of cysteine-containing tripeptides and by the allylation of 1-thioglucose tetraacetate. Copyright
