Abstract

Peptide thiol salicylaldehyde (SAL) esters unexpectedly do not follow a Ser/Thr ligation pathway to react with peptides containing N-terminal Ser/Thr, but proceed towards a peptide aminolysis in DMSO. The reaction takes place even at a low substrate concentration (1 mM). The method has been successfully used to synthesize several natural cyclic peptides, with a high ratio of monocyclic to dimeric products.
