Abstract

An N-sulfanylethylanilide (SEAlide)-based ligation was developed for the preparation of trichamide, a thiazole-containing cyclic peptide isolated from bloom-forming cyanobacterium Trichodesmium erythraeum. In this cysteine-free ligation, 4-mercaptobenzylphosphonic acid (MBPA) functions as a dual promoter both for the N–S acyl-transfer-mediated activation of the SEAlide unit and for subsequent ligation. Furthermore, we established a high-yielding route to enantiomerically pure thiazole amino acids using a one-pot Hantzsch process.
