A novel amidation strategy using electrophilic sulfonium has been developed, enabling efficient amidation reactions in aqueous environments and solid-phase peptide synthesis. It also finds applications in peptide/protein modifications and activity-based protein profiling of a proteome at pH 10. Additionally, this method was used for peptide ligand-directed labeling of the USP7-UBL2 domain.
A novel amidation strategy using electrophilic sulfonium, which is soluble and stable in aqueous conditions, was developed. The sulfoniums could activate thioacid and carboxyl acid to efficiently react with amines to afford amides. This method enables applications in amidation in both aqueous media and solid-phase peptide synthesis, peptide/protein modifications, and reactive lysines of a proteome at pH 10 with activity-based protein profiling. A peptide ligand-directed labeling of the USP7-UBL2 domain was also performed using this method.
