Abstract
Cupric sulfate efficiently opens thiazolidine and selenazolidine rings, producing a protected N-terminal cysteine or selenocysteine derivative without the use of inert gas or solvent. This is a clear advantage over methods that use water-soluble palladium salts, which fail to react with the selenazolidine ring. This copper-mediated reaction proceeds with monovalent or divalent copper ions, and disulfide bond formation followed by ring-opening promotes the process. This copper-mediated reaction, which is compatible with the standard native chemical ligation conditions, was applied to the synthesis of the 77-mer CXCL14 protein.
