Synthesis of large polypeptides requires the assembly by chemical ligation [1] of three or more unprotected peptide segments of thirty or more amino acids. In the synthesis in the C-to-N direction, a key issue is the potential reactivity of the middle segments, which would bear both an N-terminal Cys and C-terminal thioester. Up until now, an Acm [2] or Msc [3] group has usually been employed to temporarily protect either the Ss or Nα of the N-terminal Cys residue, to prevent self condensation and other side reactions. In order to overcome the limitations of these two approaches, we investigated the use of a thiazolidine derivative, thioproline, as a precursor of the N-terminal Cys in the synthesis of the middle peptide segments.
