With two beta-mercaptoethyl groups on the N, a tertiary amide of structure 1 is always poised for intramolecular thioesterification however it flips about the C-N bond. It is shown that a peptide with such a C-terminal N,N-bis(2-mercaptoethyl)-amide (BMEA) can be used directly for native chemical ligation (NCL). These BMEA peptides are easily prepared with standard Fmoc-solid phase peptide synthesis protocols, thus giving a very convenient access to the thioester components for NCL.
