초록

A novel and efficient method to prepare amino acid thiohydantoins, which are required as reference standards for development of C-terminal protein sequencing, is reported. Amino acid thiohydantoins were prepared using a straightforward method involving reaction of 20 free amino acids with acetyl chloride as activating reagent and trimethylsilyl isothiocyanate (TMS-ITC) as derivatizing reagent. The products were characterized by HPLC, uv spectra, amino acid analysis, MS, and NMR. Different reaction conditions were investigated and the chemical mechanism of the formation of amino acid thiohydantoins was illustrated.
