Abstract:Thioamide peptides were synthesized in a straightforward one‐pot process via the linkage of diverse natural amino acids in the presence of thiolphosphonate and trichlorosilane, wherein carbonyl groups were replaced with thiono compounds with minimal racemization. Experimental and computational mechanistic studies demonstrated that the trichlorosilane enables the activation of carboxylic acids via intense interactions with the Si−O bond, followed by coupling of the carboxylic acids with thiolphosphonate to obta… Show more
