Abstract
The cleavage of amide bonds under mild acidic conditions is a rare chemical event. N-Acetamide bond of peptides is extremely stable even under the strongest organic acid trifluoromethanesulfonic acid. This report mechanistically describes a new cleavable amide bond in 4-aminopyrazolyloxy acetamide peptide analogues under mild acidic conditions such as trifluoroacetic acid (10-20%) or HCl (0.1-4.0 N) at room temperature, and the formation of unusual lactam from 4-aminopyrazolyloxy acetic acid after evaporation of solvent. This is a rare chemical event in peptide bond, which could be explored as acid-sensitive protecting group of free amines.
