Snipping tool: Zn(OTf)2 is an efficient catalyst for selective cleavage of amides bearing a β-hydroxyethyl group on the nitrogen atom. The mechanism involves an N,O-acyl rearrangement and transesterification. This new catalytic system can be applied to sequence-specific peptide bond scission at the amine side of a serine residue.

Asymmetric α-2-tosylethenylation of (S)-2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)propanoic acid esters was shown to produce good yields with high enantioselectivities. The reaction proceeds via the formation of a non-racemic ammonium enolate without an external source of chirality.
Broadening of the substrate tolerance of α-chymotrypsin by using the carbamoylmethyl ester as an acyl donor in kinetically controlled peptide synthesis

In the kinetically controlled approach of peptide synthesis mediated by α-chymotrypsin, the broadening of the protease's substrate tolerance is achieved by switching the acyl donor from the conventional methyl ester to the carbamoylmethyl ester. Thus, as a typical example, the extremely low coupling efficiency obtained by employing the methyl ester of an inherently poor amino acid substrate, Ala, is significantly improved by the use of this particular ester. Its ameliorating effect is observed also in the couplings of other amino acid residues such as Gly and Ser as carboxy components.
