Easy access to a wide range of structurally diverse stapled peptides is crucial for the development of inhibitors of protein-protein interactions. Herein, we report bis-functional hypervalent iodine reagents for two-component cysteine-cysteine and cysteine-lysine stapling yielding structurally diverse thioalkyne linkers. This stapling method works with unprotected natural amino acid residues and does not require pre-functionalization or metal catalysis. The products are stable to purification and isolation. Post-stapling modification can be accessed via amidation of an activated ester, or via cycloaddition onto the formed thioalkyne group. Increased helicity and binding affinity to MDM2 was obtained for a i,i+7 stapled peptide.

The cycloisomerization of readily available 2-alkynylbenzoic acids 1 in ionic liquids (ILs) as recyclable reaction media has been studied under the catalytic action of CuCl2. With substrates bearing an aryl group on the triple bond, a mixture o

A two-step (nucleophilic substitution/palladation by oxidative addition) sequence provides a high-yielding access to a non-symmetrical palladium NNC pincer complex. A number of terminal and internal alkynoic acids with different substitution patterns at the α- and β-positions are regio- and diastereoselectively cycloisomerized to the corresponding exocyclic enol lactones in the presence of exceedingly low amounts of the latter palladium complex, so that unprecedented turnover numbers and frequencies ranging from 1,000,000 to 700,000 and from 41,667 to 9722 h?1, respectively, are achieved. The optimized protocol, based on the use of a catalytic amount of triethylamine as base, allows an easy real-time monitoring of the reaction by NMR spectroscopy. Several pieces of evidence in favor of the direct participation of the above pincer complex as the catalyst of the reaction have been gathered from kinetic and poisoning experiments. (Figure presented.).
