A new N-sulfonyloxaziridine reagent for the conversion of N-terminal peptide amines to the corresponding hydroxylamines without overoxidation or erosion of stereochemistry is described. The products are N-terminal hydroxylamines, which are substrates for chemoselective amide-bond forming reactions with alpha-ketoacids. The success of this reagent arises from covalent precomplexation with the substrate via imine bond formation followed by an intramolecular oxygen-atom transfer to the amine. An un ...[more]
