Synthesis of selenoxo peptides by the treatment of N(α)-protected peptide esters with a combination of PCl(5) and LiAlHSeH is delineated. The method is simple, high-yielding, and free from racemization. Thus obtained selenoxo peptides are used as units for N-terminal chain extension through N(α)-deprotection/coupling to yield peptide-selenoxo peptide hybrids. Multiple selenation is demonstrated by conversion of two peptide bonds of tripeptides into selenoxo peptide bonds. Amino acid derived arylamides are also converted into aryl selenoamides. C(6)H(5)-CSeNH-Val-OMe 8f is obtained as single crystal, and its structure was determined through X-ray diffraction study.

The amide bond as peptide linkage plays an important role in protein structure and function. A large number of theoretical and experimental studies have focused on the specific nature of the peptide bond. Little attention, however, has been paid to their chalcogen-substituted congeners, although experimental data on thioamides revealed inconsistencies with the conventional view of amide resonance theory.

Photocontrol of the backbone conformation is a useful step forward in regulating the bioactivities of peptides and proteins by means of external signals. In the present work, the selenium analogue of a peptide bond was introduced into tetrapeptides to obtain surprisingly stable selenoxo peptides. Selenoxo peptide bonds allow for a marked increase of cis content in the photostationary state of peptide chains when irradiated with UV light near 290 nm.
