50. Reduced Sec peptides elute poorly from HPLC columns. The solvent free desulfurization of thiols by trialkylphosphites (and later phosphines) is inhibited by the presence of thiophenol

53. Deselenization of Sec during native chemical ligation has been observed, Ref [15a].
54. A minor side product of Sec to Ser conversion was observed, consistent with the Cys to Ser conversion observed in the free- radical-based desulfurization of Cys-Crotogossamide (Ref. [11]; Figure 54, page S36 in the Supporting Information). This side product is not observed under our optimized conditions with less TCEP.
55. The desulfurization of cysteines residues in proteins at elevated temperatures (up to 60 °C) with TCEP was observed by mass spectrometry, and is consistent with a thiyl radical-based mechanism.

57. The desulfurized minor-product is likely to result from transfer of the selanyl radical to the Cys thiol, and subsequent desulfurization with TCEP as suggested by Danishefsky et al.[11]
58. The mechanism is thought to occur through attack of a selanyl radical with the phosphine TCEP to yield a phosphoranyl radical with an expanded valence shell. The homolytic cleavage of the C-Se bond forms an alkyl radical at the β-carbon, which abstracts hydrogen to form alanine. The driving force of the process is the formation of the strong Se=P bond.[27]
59. Treatment of disulfides with electron rich phosphines can result in β-elimination to form dehydroalanine, subsequent Michael addition leads to epimerization of the Cys residue. G. J. L.
