The reversibility of the thiol-thioester linkage has been broadly employed in many fields of biochemistry (lipid synthesis) and chemistry (dynamic combinatorial chemistry and material science). When the transthioesterification is followed by a S-to-N acyl transfer to give an amide bond, it is called Native Chemical Ligation (NCL), a high-yield chemoselective process used for peptide synthesis. Recently, we described thioglycolic acid (TGA) as a useful reagent for thioester deprotection both in solution and anchored to a solid-support under mild conditions.

Oligonucleotide conjugates are widely used as therapeutic drugs, gene analysis, and diagnostic tools. A critical step in the biologically relevant oligonucleotide conjugates is the design and synthesis of functional molecules that connect oligonucleotide with ligands. Here, we report the synthesis and application for oligonucleotide functionalization of novel tethers based on aminomethyl and mercaptomethyl sugar derivatives.

Syntheses, structures, and electronic properties of group 5 metal-thiolate complexes that exhibit unusual coordination modes of thiolate ligands have been established. Room-temperature reaction of [Cp*VCl] (Cp* = η-CMe) with Na[B(SCHS)] led to the formation of [Cp*VO{(SCH)S}] (). The solid-state X-ray structure of shows the formation of six-membered l,3,5-trithia-2-vanadacyclohexane that adopted a chair conformation.

Condensation of 1,8,13-tris(mercaptomethyl)triptycene and tris(bromomethyl)methane yields an in,in-cyclophane with two inwardly directed methine groups. Based on X-ray analysis and DFT and MP2 calculations, the hydrogen-hydrogen non-bonded contact distance is estimated to be 1.50-1.

Seven polyamine conjugates of a tri(p-carboranylmethylthio)tetrafluorophenylporphyrin were prepared in high yields by sequential substitution of the p-phenyl fluoride of tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin (TPPF), and investigated as boron delivery agents for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). The polyamines used were derivatives of the natural-occurring spermine with different lengths of the carbon chains, terminal primary amine groups and, in two of the conjugates, additional aminoethyl moieties. A tri(polyethylene glycol) conjugate was also synthesized for comparison purposes.
