Cysteine-containing dipeptides 3a-l, (3b+3b′) (compound numbers in parentheses are used to indicate racemic mixtures; thus (3b+3b′) is the racemate of 3b and 3b′), and tripeptide 13 were synthesized in 68-96% yields by acylation of cysteine with N-(Pg-α-aminoacyl)- and N-(Pg-α-dipeptidoyl)benzotriazoles (where Pg stands for protecting group in the nomenclature for peptides throughout the paper) in the presence of Et3N. Cysteine-containing peptides 3a-l and 13 were S-acylated to give S-(Pg-α-aminoacyl)dipeptides 5a-l and S-(Pg-α-aminoacyl) tripeptide 14 without racemization in 47-90% yields using N-(Pg-α- aminoacyl)benzotriazoles 2 in CH3CN-H2O (7:3) in the presence of KHCO3. (In our peptide nomenclature, the prefixes di-, tri-, etc. refer to the number of amino acid residues in the main peptide chain; amino acid residues attached to sulfur are designated as S-acyl peptides. Thus we avoid use of the prefix "iso".) Selective S-acylations of serine peptide 3k and threonine peptide 3l containing free OH groups were thus achieved in 58% and 72% yield, respectively. S-(Pg-α-aminoacyl)cysteines 4a,b underwent native chemical ligations to form native dipeptides 3f,i via 5-membered cyclic transition states. Microwave irradiation of S-(Pg-α-aminoacyl)tripeptide 15 and S-(Pg-α-aminoacyl)tetrapeptide 17 in the presence of NaH2PO4/Na2HPO 4 buffer solution at pH 7.8 achieved chemical ligations, involving intramolecular migrations of acyl groups, via 11- and 14-membered cyclic transition states from the S-atom of a cysteine residue to a peptide terminal amino group to form native peptides 19 and 20 in isolated yields of 26% and 23%, respectively.

N-(Cbz- or Fmoc-α-aminoacyl)benzotriazoles 2 and N-protected peptidoylbenzotriazoles 6 are coupled in aqueous acetonitrile solution with free amino acids or dipeptides to prepare: (i) 22 chirally pure dipeptides 5a-v (in an average yield of 82%) from N-(Cbz- or Fmoc-α-aminoacyl)benzotriazoles 2 and unprotected amino acids, (ii) five chiral tripeptides 7a-e (in an average yield of 75%) from N-protected peptidoylbenzotriazoles 6 and unprotected amino acids, (iii) one chiral tripeptide 7g (62%) from N-(Cbz- or Fmoc-α- aminoacyl)benzotriazole 2a and the free dipeptide 8. In all, N-(Cbz- or Fmoc-α-aminoacyl)benzotriazole derivatives of 17 of the 20 naturally occurring amino acids were used, including those containing the following unprotected side chain functionalities: alcoholic -OH (Ser), indole -NH (Trp), imidazole -NH, phenolic -OH (Tyr), -CONH2 (Gln, Asn), -SH (Cys), -CO2H (Glu, Asp), and -S-S (Cystine). Support for the complete retention of chirality was obtained by parallel experiments involving D-Ala, L-Ala, and DL-Ala for the preparation of di- and tripeptides. This and other evidence for chiral integrity was supported by NMR and HPLC analyses. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
N-(Cbz- and Fmoc-α-aminoacyl)benzotriazoles: Stable derivatives enabling peptide coupling of Tyr, Trp, Cys, Met, and Gln with free amino acids in aqueous media with complete retention of chirality

Crystalline, chirally stable N-(Cbz- and Fmoc-α-aminoacyl) benzotriazoles 2a-f, activated derivatives of Tyr, Trp, Cys, Met and Gln undergo peptide coupling in aqueous media with unprotected L-Ala-OH and L-Phe-OH to give the chiral dipeptides in 70-98% yi
