Neighbor-directed histidine N (τ)-alkylation: A route to imidazolium-containing phosphopeptide macrocycles

ABSTRACT Our recently discovered, selective, on‐resin route to N(τ)‐alkylated imidazolium‐containing histidine residues affords new strategies for peptide mimetic design. In this, we demonstrate the use of this chemistry to prepare a series of macrocyclic phosphopeptides, in which imidazolium groups...

Description
Summary:ABSTRACT Our recently discovered, selective, on‐resin route to N(τ)‐alkylated imidazolium‐containing histidine residues affords new strategies for peptide mimetic design. In this, we demonstrate the use of this chemistry to prepare a series of macrocyclic phosphopeptides, in which imidazolium groups serve as ring‐forming junctions. Interestingly, these cationic moieties subsequently serve to charge‐mask the phosphoamino acid group that directed their formation. Neighbor‐directed histidine N(τ)‐alkylation opens the door to new families of phosphopeptidomimetics for use in a range of chemical biology contexts. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
