Peptides. Part XXI. Dehydrogenation of some thiazolines derived from cysteine

Abstract: Esters of 2-alkyl-A3-thiazoline-4-carboxylic acids are smoothly dehydrogenated by phenanthraquinone to the corresponding thiazole derivatives. Methyl 2-benzamidomethyl-A2-thiazoline-4-carboxylate is dehydrogenated only slowly by phenenthraquinone but rapidly by manganese dioxide. The possible application of these reactions to the detection of thiazoline rings in peptides is discussed.* Although not a peptide, firefly luciferin contains a thiazoline ring possibly derived from cysteine.'

“…9 At strongly acidic conditions, 12 NAC has been observed to form a five-membered thiazolidine ring through reaction of the thiol with the amide group, which subsequently eliminates H 2 O (catalyzed by H + ) to form 2-methyl-2-thiazoline-4carboxylic acid (MTC) having a thiazoline ring. 13,14 This reaction is termed as the cyclization of NAC. A plausible intermediate in the cyclization of NAC is 2-methylthiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid (MTCA), which readily decomposes through a second-order reaction involving OH − to produce MTC.…”

“…The dehydrogenation of structurally related thiazolines by quinones has been investigated by Kenner and co-workers (25) Compound 17 gives correct analytical figures, mass spectral parent peak, the i.r. confirms the absence of an aryl ketone band and the 4-vinyl proton is prominent in the n.m.r.…”

“…La cyclisation realisee constitue d'ailleurs une excellente protection contre les degradations parasites du peptide forme. La y (-N-TFA a-ethoxy)-glutamyl-methoxycysteine ainsi obtenue est transformee aisement en une thiazoline-d2 par distillation sous vide [9].…”

“…Nous avons utilise plusieurs procedes pour deshydrogener la thiazoline-d2 : en premier lieu, celui preconise par Barton et coll. [9], ensuite par emploi de Palladium, Selenium et Soufre. C'est I'aromatisation par le soufre B 230" qui donne les meilleurs resultats.…”
