Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of chemical synthesis, and particularly relates to a method for realizing alkynyl functionalization of cysteine and polypeptides thereof by utilizing a microchannel reactor.
Background
Cysteine is one of 20 common amino acids that has important applications in a number of fields, for example: cysteine can be used as a raw material for synthesizing glutathione in a living body, and the glutathione is an important antioxidant substance in the living body; cysteine also has applications in the fields of pharmaceutical molecules and food processing; in addition, because cysteine contains a sulfhydryl structure, quantitative detection of the sulfhydryl content in a living body can be used as a judgment basis for related diseases, and the cysteine is also an important research object for scientific researchers.
Currently, methods for realizing alkynyl functional modification of cysteine and polypeptides thereof by using a micro-flow field reaction technology are also recently reported, and a method for realizing amino acid arylation by using aniline and cysteine under an illumination condition is reported by Timothy Noel in 2017 (Angew.chem.int.ed.2017, 56, 12702-12707). Although the reaction can effectively realize the arylation of amino acid, a photocatalyst and an oxidant are added into a reaction system. In 2018, veronique Gouverneur reported a method for performing difluoromethylation modification of cysteine-containing polypeptides using Umemoto reagent (j.am. Chem. Soc.2018,140, 1572-1575). Although the method has a good substrate range, the reaction yield is low, the synthesis scale is small, and the research of a scale-up experiment cannot be carried out. The traditional method for functionally modifying the cysteine often has the defects of needing to use noble metal as a catalyst, having low atom utilization rate, being not friendly to the environment and the like, and the defects limit the application of the method in industrialization. Therefore, it is very interesting to develop a catalyst-free, mild reaction conditions, environmentally friendly and easily scalable method for cysteine functionalization modification.
