General description

The 3-nitro-2-pyridinesulphenyl (Npys) moiety is useful as a protecting-activating group for cysteine, particularly in the synthesis of cyclic and unsymmetrical disulfides. The stability of NpysCl was studied in various solvents.

Application

3-Nitro-2-pyridinesulfenyl chloride (NpysCl) was employed as the starting material for the synthesis of N-, O- and S-Npys-protected amino acid.

Two recent reports on the partial lability of the 3-nitro-2-pyridinesulfenyl (Npys) thiol protecting group towards 1-hydroxy-benzotriazole (HOBt) have prompted a rechecking of the chemical behavior of this group. Using both soluble and polymer-bound forms of Cys(Npys) as test materials, the

TASPs (template-assembled synthetic peptides) are generated by the covalent attachment of linear peptides to a common peptide backbone, thus generating larger synthetic peptides/proteins with prefolded structure. In this work we present a strategy for the synthesis of a heterotemplate-assembled synthetic
