11. Forsyth reported that thiazoline formation from the thioester of the modified cysteine derivative could not avoid elimination of the adjacent hydroxy group corresponding to the C35 position.
12. We attempted thioamide formation from N-Boc-Pro-Dtena(O-TBS)-moSer(O-TBS) -OAll using a Lawesson reagent. However, it failed because of Michael addition of the formed thioamide to the α,β-unsaturated ester. The similar result was also recently reported. Xu, Z.; Ye, T.
