Abstract
The addition of PhSeH to aziridine-2-carboxylic acid containing peptides is described, thus expanding the scope of nucleophiles for the opening of this class of electrophilic peptide substrates. The process offers a new strategy for the generation of useful phenylselenocysteine derivatives and α-seleno-β-amino acid-containing peptides.
Key words
aziridine - peptide - ligation - selenol - solid-phase

11 Although solid-phase synthesis of Azy(3-Me)-containing peptides is a highly efficient process, attempts at on-bead selenolysis were not efficient due to competitive unproductive processes such as, inter alia, aziridine N-deacylation.
12 For detailed representative procedures on the solution-phase and solid-phase synthesis of aziridine-containing peptides, see ref. 1k.
