A new series of chiral δ-thiolactone derivatives have been prepared. These compounds exemplify the acetalic N-C-S reversibility of fused thiazolidines toward the thermodynamic product. The stereochemistry of the synthesized compounds was elucidated using X-ray crystallography, NOESY spectroscopy, and DFT calculations.

We report the use of unprotected amino acids as submonomer reagents in the solid-phase synthesis of -substituted glycine peptoid oligomers. Subsequent coupling of an amine, alcohol, or thiol to the free carboxylate of the incorporated amino acid provides access to peptoids bearing amides, esters, and thioesters as side chain pendant groups and permits further elongation of the peptoid backbone. The palette of readily obtained building blocks suitable for solid-phase peptoid synthesis is substantially expanded through this protocol, further enhancing the chemical diversity and potential applications of sequence-specific peptoid oligomers.

Ubiquitin-related modifier 1 (Urm1) is a highly conserved member of the ubiquitin-like (UBL) family of proteins. Urm1 is a key component of the eukaryotic transfer RNA (tRNA) thiolation cascade, responsible for introducing sulfur at wobble uridine (U34) in several eukaryotic tRNAs. Urm1 must be thiocarboxylated (Urm1-SH) by its E1 activating enzyme UBL protein activator 4 (Uba4).

This study introduces a novel method for ring-closing chlorosulfenylation of alkenoic thioesters using N-chlorosuccinimide in hexafluoroisopropanol under mild conditions. This reaction efficiently forms five-membered cyclic sulfur compounds with high selectivity, representing a significant advancement in the synthesis of chlorinated S-heterocycles. Computational analysis using density functional theory demonstrates the superiority of thioester nucleophiles over traditional benzyl sulfides in this reaction, highlighting the energetic preference for thioesters.

Native chemical ligation (NCL) ligates two unprotected peptides in an aqueous buffer. One of the fragments features a C-terminal α-thioester functional group, and the second bears an N-terminal cysteine. The reaction mechanism depicts two steps: an intermolecular thiol-thioester exchange resulting in a transient thioester, followed by an intramolecular acyl shift to yield the final native peptide bond.
