The pentapeptide lactone Cbz-(Thr-D-Val-Pro-Sar-MeAla-) was synthesized in order to observe the behavior of the unprotected lactone resulting from its hydrogenolytic deprotection. Closely related peptide lactones have been reported as intermediates in total syntheses of actinomycin D and its analogues, despite the fact that unprotected and unprotonated O-peptides of serine and threonine are known to undergo rapid O,N-acyl shift. In the present study the peptide lactone was seen to undergo a slow O,N-acyl shift, in a matter of hours, to the known cyclic pentapeptide. This contrasted with the rapid rearrangement of a model O-peptide, O-hippuryl-L-threonine methyl ester. This slowness of an O,N-acyl shift in a cyclic system presumably results from higher energy barriers of conformational origin. It explains the suitability of unprotected peptide lactones for the syntheses of actinomycins and other peptide lactone antibiotics which have appeared in the literature.
