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.[1] The stability of NpysCl was studied in various solvents.[2]

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.[2]

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

The 3-nitro-2-pyridinesulphenyl (Npys) moiety is finding increasing utility as a protecting-activating group for cysteine, particularly in the synthesis of cyclic and unsymmetrical disulfides using the Boc strategy. This chemistry has been extended to peptides assembled by the Fmoc strategy. N-Terminal

3-Nitro-2-pyridinesulfenyl chloride (NpysCl) is the starting material for the synthesis of N-, O- and S-Npys-protected amino acids. Two efficient, novel synthetic routes to NpysCl are described. The stability of NpysCl was determined in a variety of solvents, with and without

The hydroxylic side-chain functional groups of serine, threonine, hydroxproline and tyrosine, the alpha and epsilon-amino moieties of lysine and the thiol group of cysteine were masked by the 3-nitro-2-pyridinesulfenyl (Npys) protecting group. Deprotection was mildly affected by thiolysis with either

The thiol groups of leucinthiol, cysteamine and cysteine incorporated into opioid peptides enkephalin and morphiceptin were activated by the 3-nitro-2-pyridinesulphenyl (Npys) group to form mixed disulphides highly reactive to a free thiol. Enkephalin analogues containing Npys-leucinthiol or -cysteine at positions
