Abstract

Abstract A series of peptides has been prepared using an o-hydroxybenzenesulfonyl chloride as the condensation reagent. Experimentally, the coupling is a one pot two-steps reaction: formation and aminolysis of a substituted aryl ester. The first step occurs by an elimination-addition reaction involving a sulfoquinone intermediate, followed by an efficient six-membered acyl transfer reaction in the phenolic carboxylic-sulfonic mixed anhydride ...
