As is the norm for a transformational new paradigm, Kent’s concept [1] of native chemical ligation enabling the block synthesis of peptides has been considerably extended and optimized since its introduction in 1994.[2] A significant number of these improvements have addressed the development of methods for peptidyl thioester synthesis and the limitations posed by the mechanistic requirement of a N-terminal 2-mercaptoethylamine, typically cysteine.[3] Perhaps the most important modification, however, was the introduction by Kent and co-workers [4] of the thiazolidine group as a means of protection for N-terminal cysteine moieties compatible with the native chemical ligation itself, and permitting the ligation of three or more peptides into a single entity. Our laboratory has been engaged in the development of an alternative method of block synthesis for peptides in which a C-terminal peptidyl thioacid reacts with an electron-deficient N-terminal sulfonamide to yield a native amide bond.[5] The mechanism of this reaction, which is not limited to the use of any particular amino acid, involves nucleophilic aromatic substitution by the thiocarboxylate on the electron deficient sulfonamide to give a highly reactive thioester and, after loss of sulfur dioxide, an amine leading ultimately to the amide product (Scheme 1). A variant on the method employs a free amine and an electron deficient aryl halide, such as the Sanger or Mukaiyama reagents, as the condensing agent in place of the sulfonamide.[6]
