Abstract
Arylthioether functional groups serve as effective electroauxiliaries for tunable oxidations. Herein, we disclose the synthesis of second-generation glutamine building blocks bearing 2,4-dimethoxythiophenyl and 2,4-dichlorothiophenyl-derived electroauxiliaries. These building blocks improve SPPS efficiency and enable fine-tuning of the electrochemical window for selective anodic oxidation reactions in comparison to first-generation 4-methoxythiophenyl- and 4-nitrothiophenyl-substituted variants. Installation onto a segment of involucrin, a protein component of human skin, emphasizes the practical application of the new building blocks for iterative functionalizations.
