A method for the selective tryptophan modification and labelling of tryptophan-containing peptides is described. Photoirradiation of acylsilanes generates reactive siloxycarbenes which undergo H?N-insertion into the indole moiety of tryptophan to give stable silyl protected hemiaminals. This method is successfully applied to chemically modify various tryptophan containing oligopeptides. The method enables the selective introduction of alkynes to peptides that are eligible for further alkyne-azide click chemistry. In addition, the dansyl fluorophore can be conjugated to a peptide using this approach.

Pseudaminic acid (Pse) is a nonulosonic acid unique to bacterial species, found as a component of important cell surface glycans and glycoproteins in various pathogenic species, such as the critical hospital threat Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Herein we present the development of a facile and scalable de novo synthesis of Pse and its functionalized derivatives from easily available Cbz-l-allo-threonine methyl ester (16 steps in 11% yield). The key reactions in our de novo synthesis involve the diastereoselective glycine thioester isonitrile-based aldol-type reaction to create the 1,3-anti-diamino skeleton, followed by the Fukuyama reduction and the indium-mediated Barbier-type allylation. Moreover, we have studied the glycosylation of the Pse glycosyl donors and identified the structural determinants for its glycosylation diastereoselectivity, which enabled us to complete the total synthesis of P. aeruginosa 1244 pilin trisaccharide α-5NβOHC47NFmPse-(2→4)-β-Xyl-(1→3)-FucNAc.
