Winding vine-shaped bithiophene was synthesized through the nosyl (2-nitrobenzenesulfonyl) cyclization protocol. The reaction of bithiophene bearing bromomethyl groups at the 3,3'-positions with nosylated 1,2-ethylenediamine in the presence of potassium carbonate afforded the annulated product in excellent yield. The obtained bithiophene was found to contain a 10-membered ring, which was confirmed by X-ray analysis. The related nosyldiamine bearing a tri- or tetramethylene group also reacted in a similar manner, affording an 11- or 12-membered macrocycle, respectively.

The Fukuyama-Mitsunobu alkylation procedure is widely used to introduce alkyl substituents to amino groups in general and N-alkylation of peptides in particular. Here we have investigated the procedure in detail for N-alkylation of peptides with N-terminal glycine residues, based on the observation that standard conditions lead to substantial bis-nosylation of the glycine amino group. A systematic evaluation of this observation was carried out and it was demonstrated that for peptides with alanine, β-alanine or γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) as N-terminal residues mono-nosylation was observed under the same conditions.
