  • Publication number: 20160096852
    Abstract: 4-(pentafluorosulfanyl)benzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate salt was synthesized and isolated. The pentafluorosulfanyl salt was examined in a wide assortment of reactions to form novel SF5-bearing alkenes, alkynes, and biaryl derivatives using Heck-Matsuda, Sonogashira, and Suzuki coupling protocols. Dediazoniation of the salt furnished the corresponding p-SF5—C6H4X,C6H4OS(O)(CF3)?NSO2CF3, and p-SF5—C6H4—NTf2 derivatives. The azide derivative p-SF5—C6H4N3 entered into click chemistry with phenylacetylenes to furnish the corresponding triazoles. Various SF5-bearing alkenes were synthesized by coupling reactions using a metal catalyst. Fluorodediazoniation selectively furnished the fluoro derivative p-SF5—C6H4F. Homolytic dediazoniation gave the unsymmetrical biaryls, thus demonstrating the broad utility of pentafluorosulfanyl diazonium salts as building blocks of SF5-aromatics that are in high demand in many branches of chemistry including biomedicine and materials chemistry.

  • Publication number: 20160096872
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing peptides by recombinant means. The peptides are expressed as part of a fusion protein comprising the target peptide and an engineered intein. The invention also provides the engineered inteins, fusion proteins comprising these, and DNA constructs coding for these fusion proteins. Upon thiol-induced cleavage of the fusion protein the carboxy-terminal a-thioester of the target peptide is obtained. The carboxy-terminal ct-thioester can in principle react with any nucleophile and the strategy therefore allows a wider range of carboxy-terminal modifications such as chemical ligation, bioconjugation, or amidation.
