Aziridine based electrophilic handle for aspartic acid ligation
Literature Information
Kiran Bajaj, Devesh S. Agarwal, Rajeev Sakhuja, Girinath G. Pillai
A one-pot ligation strategy at aspartic acid junctions has been developed by successfully incorporating aziridin-2,3-dicarboxylate to the N-side of a peptide fragment, affording N-aziridine appended peptides, which were ligated in solution phase with a variety of small peptide thio acids to afford native peptides, following a ring-opening/peptidyl migration/desulfurization strategy. The reaction proceeds in a highly regiospecific manner, and provides short native peptides in good isolable yields. A variety of aspartame based peptides were synthesized to showcase the generality of this aziridine based ligation. Computational studies have also been performed to obtain insight about the reaction pathway.
