In this paper, we demonstrate the applicability of water-soluble p-dimethylaminoethyl substituted phosphinomethanethiol in acetyl transfer reactions by the traceless Staudinger ligation with unprotected *-azido lysine containing peptides in aqueous buffer systems. Additionally, we present an improved synthesis pathway for the water-soluble phosphinothiol linkers requiring less steps in a comparable overall yield in comparison to previously published protocols.

Water soluble reagents and methods for the formation of an amide bond between a phosphinothioester and an azide in an aqueous medium. The phosphinothioester is generated using a water-soluble phosphinothiol reagent. This reaction allows formation of an amide bond between a wide variety of chemical species including amino acids, peptides or protein fragments in an aqueous solution. Of particular interest, this reaction allows for the formation of an amide bond in a physiological setting. In a specific embodiment, this invention provides reagents and methods for peptide ligation in an aqueous medium. The reaction eliminates the need for a cysteine residue and is traceless leaving no residual atoms in the ligated peptide product.
