Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis of new compounds with demonstrated anticancer properties based on the 2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazole scaffold. The Fischer indolization method was used to close the heterocyclic motif. The synthesis method's scope and limitations were thoroughly assessed through a series of experiments. Biological assays revealed that two thioamide compounds exhibited significant anticancer activity against MCF-7, HTC116, and A596 cell lines. Comprehensive in vitro profiling included evaluation of cell cytotoxicity, morphological alterations, colony formation and cell adhesion in 3D cultures, cell cycle analysis, DNA damage induction, impact on mitochondria, and apoptosis. Ex ovo studies further demonstrated these compounds' potential to inhibit angiogenic processes. Our results indicate that the newly developed compounds activate processes leading to DNA damage and disruption of mitochondrial function.

Abstract
Recent success of RNA therapeutics has reinvigorated interest in chemical modifications of RNA. As exemplified by the phosphorothioates, modifications of sugar-phosphate backbone have been remarkably impactful but relatively underexplored in therapeutic RNAs. The present study reports synthesis, thermal stability, and RNA interference activity of RNAs modified with thioamide linkages. Compared to the previously studied amide-modified RNA, thioamide linkages strongly destabilized a short self-complementary RNA model duplex. However, in short interfering RNAs amides and thioamides had a similar effect on duplex stability and target RNA cleavage activity and specificity. Hence, the thioamide may be added to the toolbox of chemical biologist as a useful backbone modification well tolerated by the RNA interference machinery.

Abstract
A mild and chemoselective method for the thioacylation of amines, including amino acids and peptides, using gem-difluoroalkenes and sulfide, is reported. The distinguishing of the different nucleophilic sites (S-site and diverse N-sites) by the chemoselective C-F bond functionalization of gem-difluoroalkenes enables the unique synergistic defluorinative coupling reaction. This reaction features mild conditions, is operationally simple, efficient, and gram-scalable, tolerates various functional groups, and is activator-free and without racemization. Thioamide moieties were incorporated site-specifically into bioactive compounds. The proposed mechanism is illustrated by a DFT calculation.

Abstract
6-Thioguanine (6TG) is a clinically used antitumor agent that was rationally designed as a DNA-targeting antimetabolite, but it also occurs naturally. 6TG is a critical virulence factor produced by Erwinia amylovorans, a notorious plant pathogen that causes fire blight of pome fruit trees. The biosynthesis of the rare thioamide metabolite involves an adenylating enzyme (YcfA) and a sulfur-mobilizing enzyme (YcfC), but the mechanism of sulfur transfer and putative intermediates have remained elusive. Through dissection and in vitro reconstitution of the thionation process using diverse substrates, we uncover an intermediate, prodrug-like thio-conjugate and elucidate the precise enzyme functions. YcfA not only adenylates GMP but also transfers the mercapto group of l-cysteine to the activated carbonyl. A designated C-S lyase (YcfC) then cleaves the resulting S-adduct to yield the thioamide. This pathway is distinct from canonical tRNA sulfur modifications and known enzymatic peptide thionations. By exploring a wide range of substrate surrogates, we exploited the tolerance of the enzyme pair to produce even a seleno analog. This study provides valuable insight into a previously unexplored area of bacterial thioamide formation and lays the groundwork for synthetic biology approaches to produce thioamide antimetabolites.

Abstract
The three-component domino reaction of thioamides, benzyl isocyanide, and water in the presence of a catalytic amount of both Pd(dppf)Cl2 and Cu(OAc)2 afforded novel 1,2,4-thiadiazolidin-3-one cyclic compounds, whereas the same reaction with tertiary alkylisonitriles in the presence of rare earth metal salt [La(OTf)3] resulted in (E)-N-(1,2-diamino-2-thioxoethylidene)benzamide open-chain products. This divergent reaction enabled the one-pot construction of five (N-S, C-S, C-O, and two C-N) or four (C-S, C-N, C-O, and C-C) new chemical bonds. Mechanism studies indicate that the oxygen atom of the product was derived from H2O.

Abstract
Since the pioneering work of Curtius and Fischer, chemical peptide synthesis has witnessed a century's development and evolved into a routine technology. However, it is far from perfect. In particular, it is challenged by sustainable development because the state-of-the-art of peptide synthesis heavily relies on legacy reagents and technologies developed before the establishment of green chemistry. Over the past three decades, a broad range of efforts have been made for greening peptide synthesis, among which peptide synthesis using unprotected amino acid represents an ideal and promising strategy because it does not require protection and deprotection steps. Unfortunately, C → N peptide synthesis employing unprotected amino acids has been plagued by undesired polymerization, while N → C inverse peptide synthesis with unprotected amino acids is retarded by severe racemization/epimerization owing to the iterative activation and aminolysis of high racemization/epimerization susceptible peptidyl acids. Consequently, there is an urgent need to develop innovative coupling reagents and strategies with novel mechanisms that can address the long-standing notorious racemization/epimerization issue of peptide synthesis.This Account will describe our efforts in discovery of ynamide coupling reagents and their application in greening peptide synthesis. Over an eight-year journey, ynamide coupling reagents have evolved into a class of general coupling reagents for both amide and ester bond formation. In particular, the superiority of ynamide coupling reagents in suppressing racemization/epimerization enabled them to be effective for peptide fragment condensation, and head-to-tail cyclization, as well as precise incorporation of thioamide substitutions into peptide backbones. The first practical inverse peptide synthesis using unprotected amino acids was successfully accomplished by harnessing such features and taking advantage of a transient protection strategy. Ynamide coupling reagent-mediated ester bond formation enabled efficient intermolecular esterification and macrolactonization with preservation of α-chirality and the configuration of the conjugated α,β-C-C double bond. To make ynamide coupling reagents readily available with reasonable cost and convenience, we have developed a scalable one-step synthetic method from cheap starting materials. Furthermore, a water-removable ynamide coupling reagent was developed, offering a column-free purification of the target coupling product. In addition, the recycle of ynamide coupling reagent was accomplished, thereby paving the way for their sustainable industrial application.As such, this Account presents the whole story of the origin, mechanistic insights, preparation, synthetic applications, and recycle of ynamide coupling reagents with a perspective that highlights their future impact on peptide synthesis.

Abstract
Thioamides have structural and chemical similarity to peptide bonds, offering valuable insights when probing peptide backbone interactions, but are prone to side reactions during solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). Thioimidates have been demonstrated to be effective protecting groups for thioamides during peptide elongation. We further demonstrate how thioimidates can assist thioamides through the most yield-crippling step of thionopeptide deprotection, allowing for the first isolation of an important benchmark α-helical peptide that had previously eluded synthesis and isolation.

Abstract
Thioamides are naturally occurring isosteres of amide bonds in which the chalcogen atom of the carbonyl is changed from oxygen to sulfur. This substitution gives rise to altered nucleophilicity and hydrogen bonding properties with importance for both chemical reactivity and non-covalent interactions. As such, thioamides have been introduced into biologically active compounds to achieve improved target affinity and/or stability towards hydrolytic enzymes but have also been applied as probes of protein and peptide folding and dynamics. Recently, a series of new methods have been developed for the synthesis of thioamides as well as their utilization in peptide chemistry. Further, novel strategies for the incorporation of thioamides into proteins have been developed, enabling both structural and functional studies to be performed. In this Review, we highlight the recent developments in the preparation of thioamides and their applications for peptide modification and study of protein function.

Abstract
Enzymes are increasingly recognized as valuable (bio)catalysts that complement existing synthetic methods. However, the range of biotransformations used in the laboratory is limited. Here we give an overview on the biosynthesis-inspired discovery of novel biocatalysts that address various synthetic challenges. Prominent examples from this dynamic field highlight remarkable enzymes for protecting-group-free amide formation and modification, control of pericyclic reactions, stereoselective hetero- and polycyclizations, atroposelective aryl couplings, site-selective C-H activations, introduction of ring strain, and N-N bond formation. We also explore unusual functions of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases, radical SAM-dependent enzymes, flavoproteins, and enzymes recruited from primary metabolism, which offer opportunities for synthetic biology, enzyme engineering, directed evolution, and catalyst design.

Abstract
Organoselenium compounds have recently been the experimentalists' delight due to their broad applications in organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and materials science. Selenium atom replacement of the carbonyl oxygen of the urea moiety dramatically reduces the HOMO-LUMO gap and oxidation potential, which completely changes the physicochemical properties of selenocarbonyl compounds. To our surprise, the photophysics and utility of a simple molecule such as selenourea (SeU) have not been explored in detail, which persuaded us to investigate its role in excited state processes. The steady-state emission, temperature-dependent time-correlated single photon counting, and femtosecond fluorescence upconversion experimental results confirmed that SeU significantly enhances the fluorescence quenching through a photoinduced electron transfer (PET) mechanism with an ∼10 ps ultrafast intrinsic PET lifetime component which is mostly absent in thiourea (TU). A wide range of fluorophores, based on their different redox abilities and fluorescence lifetimes covering a broad spectral window (λex: 390-590 nm and λem: 490-690 nm), were chosen to validate the proof of the concept. It was extended to tetramethylrhodamine (TMR)-5-maleimide labeled lysozyme protein, where we observed significant fluorescence quenching in the presence of SeU. The present work emphasizes that the high quenching efficiency with an ultrafast PET process, reduced orbital energy gap, and higher negative free energy change of the electron transfer reaction are the representative characteristics of selenourea or selenoamides to enable them as potential surrogates of thioamides or oxoamides quenching probes to monitor protein conformational changes and dynamics.

Ovothiol A and ergothioneine are thiol-histidine derivatives with sulfur substitutions at the δ-carbon or ε-carbon of the l-histidine imidazole ring, respectively. Both ovothiol A and ergothioneine have protective effects on many aging-related diseases, and the sulfur substitution plays a key role in determining their chemical and biological properties, while factors governing sulfur incorporation regioselectivities in ovothiol and ergothioneine biosynthesis in the corresponding enzymes (OvoA, Egt1, or EgtB) are not yet known. In this study, we have successfully obtained the first OvoA crystal structure, which provides critical information to explain their C-S bond formation regioselectivity. Furthermore, OvoATh2 exhibits several additional activities: (1) ergothioneine sulfoxide synthase activity akin to Egt1 in ergothioneine biosynthesis; (2) cysteine dioxygenase activity using l-cysteine and l-histidine analogues as substrates; (3) cysteine dioxygenase activity upon mutation of an active site tyrosine residue (Y406). The structural insights and diverse chemistries demonstrated by OvoATh2 pave the way for future comprehensive structure-function correlation studies.

Abstract
Short, synthetic peptides that are displayed by major histocompatibility complex I (MHC I) can stimulate CD8 T cells in vivo to destroy virus-infected or cancer cells. The development of such peptides as vaccines that provide protective immunity, however, is limited by rapid proteolytic degradation. Introduction of unnatural amino acid residues can suppress MHC I antigen proteolysis, but the modified peptides typically display lower affinity for MHC I and/or diminished ability to activate CD8 T cells relative to native antigen. Here, we report a new strategy for modifying MHC I antigens to enhance resistance to proteolysis while preserving MHC I affinity and T cell activation properties. This approach, replacing backbone amide groups with thioamides, was evaluated in two well-characterized antigens presented by HLA-A2, a common human MHC I. For each antigen, singly modified thioamide analogues retained affinity for HLA-A2 and activated T cells specific for the native antigen, as measured via interferon-γ secretion. In each system, we identified a highly potent triply substituted thioamide antigen ("thio-antigen") that displayed substantial resistance to proteolytic cleavage. Collectively, our results suggest that thio-antigens may represent a general and readily accessible source of potent vaccine candidates that resist degradation.

Abstract
A mild, catalyst and oxidant-free efficient protocol for synthesizing α-ketothioamides is reported with a broad substrate scope. The presented protocol demonstrates the confined reactivity of amines. The polysulfide derived from elemental sulfur and amines in an aqueous medium drives the pathway toward diverse α-ketothioamides over thioamides. Substrates with different substituent groups were compatible with the presented protocol, and the respective ketothioamides were separated in good to excellent yields. The ketothioamides, known to exhibit anti-cancer properties, were synthesized by the proposed protocol. Furthermore, the synthetic utility was explored with the typical synthesis of ketoamides.

Abstract
Living organisms have evolved various strategies to incorporate sulfur and selenium into bioactive natural products. These chalcogen-containing compounds serve important and diverse biological functions for their producers and many of them are essential medicines against infectious diseases and cancer. We review recent advances in the biosynthesis of some sulfur/selenium-containing natural products with a focus on the formation or cleavage of C-S/C-Se bonds. We highlight unusual enzymes that catalyze these transformations, describe their proposed mechanisms, and discuss how understanding these enzymes may facilitate the discovery and synthesis of novel natural products containing sulfur or selenium.

Abstract
Sulfur-containing natural products (S-containing NPs) exhibit diverse chemical structures and biosynthetic machineries. Unraveling the intricate chemistry of S-incorporation requires innovative and multidisciplinary approaches. In this review, we surveyed the landscape of S-containing NP biosynthetic machineries, classified the S-incorporation chemistry into four distinct classes, and highlighted each of the four classes with representative examples from recent studies. All highlighted chemistry has been correlated to the genes encoding the biosynthetic machineries of the S-containing NPs, which open new opportunities to discover S-containing NPs through genome mining. These examples should inspire the community to explore uncharted territories in NP research, promoting further advancements in both novel S-containing NP discovery and S-incorporation chemistry.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Acute pain is the most common type of pain. The aim of the present work was carried out to study the antinociceptive effect and pharmacological mechanisms of thiocyanoacetamide (Thm) in rats exposed to thermal pain stimulus. MATERIALS AND METHODS The anti-nociceptive effect of the newly synthesized compound, Thm was studied in comparison to that of paracetamol (Para), dexamethasone (Dex), and morphine (Morph) at different doses using a hot plate test at a constant temperature of 48.0 ± 0.5°C. During this test, the latency time (LT) was measured when rats express pain behavior. Then, the pharmacological mechanisms were determined using receptor-antagonist drugs. RESULTS Firstly, the obtained result showed pain modulation of the pretreated rats with Thm at 10 mg/kg dose proved by the delay of latency time during the thermal test. This significant antinociceptive activity of the thiocyanoacetamide was more effective than that of paracetamol or dexamethasone and less than that of morphine. Second, the pretreatment with acebutolol or risperidone antagonist drugs of, respectively, adrenergic and serotonin receptors demonstrated the elimination of pain modulation with Thm 10 mg/kg dose proved by a short latency time of rat's response in hot plate test. In this case, the pharmacological mechanism of Thm was characterized by the involvement of adrenergic and serotoninergic systems. CONCLUSIONS It may be concluded that Thm constitutes a promising antinociceptive drug including beta-adrenergic and serotoninergic targets. The present study warrants further investigation to determine the side effects of this compound.

Abstract
Malonic acid and derivatives have been well-known to undergo monodecarboxylation under relatively mild conditions and have been exclusively used as a C2 synthon. We report herein their new application as a C1 synthon via double decarboxylation promoted by sulfur and dimethyl sulfoxide. In the presence of amines as nucleophiles, a wide range of thioureas and thioamides as well as N-heterocycles were obtained in good to excellent yields under mild heating conditions.

Abstract
Herein, we report an exceedingly mild method for the direct, transition-metal-free esterification of thioamides through the selective generation of tetrahedral intermediates. The method represents the first transition-metal-free approach to the thioamide to thionoester transformation in organic synthesis. This reactivity has been accomplished through N,N-Boc2-thioamides that engage in ground-state destabilization of the nN → π*C═S conjugation. The ground-state destabilization of "single-atom" bioisosteric thioamides will expand the arsenal of valuable amide bond functionalization reactions.

Abstract
The small compound [5-(3,4-dichlorophenyl) furan-2-yl]-piperidine-1-ylmethanethione (DFPM) inhibits ABA responses by activating effector-triggered immune signal transduction in Arabidopsis. In addition to the known function of DFPM as an antagonist of ABA signaling, DFPM causes accession-specific root growth arrest in Arabidopsis Columbia-0 via the TIR-NLR protein VICTR (VARIATION IN COMPOUND TRIGGERED ROOT growth response) in an EDS1/PAD4/RAR1/SGT1B-dependent manner. Although DFPM could control the specific steps of various cellular responses, the functional residues for the activity of DFPM or the existence of a stronger version of DFPM modification have not been characterized thoroughly. This study analyzed twenty-two DFPM derivatives during root growth arrest, inhibition of ABA signaling, and induction of biotic signal transduction to determine critical residues that confer the specific activity of DFPM. Furthermore, this study identified two more Arabidopsis accessions that generate significant root growth arrest in response to DFPM derivatives dependent on multiple amino acid polymorphisms in the coding region of VICTR. The isolation of novel compounds, such as DFPM-5, and specific amino acid polymorphisms critical for the compound-induced responses will help determine the detailed regulatory mechanism for how DFPM regulates abiotic and biotic stress signaling interactions.

Abstract
Thioamide peptides were synthesized in a straightforward one-pot process via the linkage of diverse natural amino acids in the presence of thiolphosphonate and trichlorosilane, wherein carbonyl groups were replaced with thiono compounds with minimal racemization. Experimental and computational mechanistic studies demonstrated that the trichlorosilane enables the activation of carboxylic acids via intense interactions with the Si-O bond, followed by coupling of the carboxylic acids with thiolphosphonate to obtain the key intermediate S-acyl dithiophosphate. Silyl-activated quadrangular metathesis transition states afforded the thioamide peptides. The potential applications of these thioamide peptides were further highlighted via late-stage linkages of diverse natural products and pharmaceutical drugs and the thioamide moiety.

Abstract
Earth-abundant transition metal catalysis has emerged as an important alternative to noble transition metal catalysis in hydrogenation reactions. However, there has been no Earth-abundant transition metal catalyzed hydrogenation of thioamides reported so far, presumably due to the poisoning of catalysts by sulfur-containing molecules. Herein, we described the first manganese-catalyzed hydrogenative desulfurization of thioamides to amines or imines. The key to success is the use of MnBr(CO)5 instead of commonly-employed pincer-manganese catalysts, together with simple NEt3 and CuBr. This protocol features excellent selectivity on sole cleavage of the C=S bond of thioamides, in contrast to the only known Ru-catalyzed hydrogenation of thioamides, and unprecedented chemo-selectivity tolerating vulnerable functional groups such as nitrile, ketone, aldehyde, ester, sulfone, nitro, olefin, alkyne and heterocycle, which are usually susceptible to common hydride-type reductive protocols.

Abstract
Inflammatory pain is part of the body's defense mechanism and plays an important role in the healing process. Although some drugs are efficient and intensively used for their potent anti-inflammatory properties, they present problematic side effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-nociceptive effect of the thiocyanoacetamide (Thm) compared to paracetamol (Para), dexamethasone (Dex) and morphine (Morph) and to study inflammatory mediators on models of acute inflammatory pain in rats using the formalin injection test in the hind paw of rats as chemical stimulus. The obtained results showed significant modulation of pain by Thm pretreatment with a maximum at an effective dose (10 mg/kg) proved by the absence of licking and biting of the affected paw during the early and late phases of inflammation. This effect was comparable to Dex at 10 mg/kg, Para at 400 mg/kg and less than Morph at 5 mg/kg pretreatment doses. The study of anti-inflammatory targets showed that Thm pretreatment maintained plasma serotonin release at normal level compared to the negative control group (T-) and corrected the decrease in the plasma level of prostaglandins after inflammatory induction with no variation in the level of histamine in different groups. The evaluation of inflammation mediators demonstrated that the pretreatment with Thm induced the decrease in the amount of both IL-1 Beta and TNF alpha in plasma and the increase in their amount in the tissue of the injection site. The Thm has been promoted as an anti-nociceptive drug that induces modulation of inflammatory mediators.

Abstract
An operationally simple and metal-free approach is described for the synthesis of pyrazole-tethered thioamide and amide conjugates. The thioamides were generated by employing a three-component reaction of diverse pyrazole C-3/4/5 carbaldehydes, secondary amines, and elemental sulfur in a single synthetic operation. The advantages of this developed protocol refer to the broad substrate scope, metal-free and easy to perform reaction conditions. Moreover, the pyrazole C-3/5-linked amide conjugates were also synthesized via an oxidative amination of pyrazole carbaldehydes and 2-aminopyridines using hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant.

Abstract
Amide-π interactions, in which an amide interacts with an aromatic group, are ubiquitous in biology, yet remain understudied relative to other noncovalent interactions. Recently, we demonstrated that an electrostatically tunable amide-π interaction is key to recognition of histone acyllysine by the AF9 YEATS domain, a reader protein which has emerged as a therapeutic target due to its dysregulation in cancer. Amide isosteres are commonly employed in drug discovery, often to prevent degradation by proteases, and have proven valuable in achieving selectivity when targeting epigenetic proteins. However, like amide-π interactions, interactions of amide isosteres with aromatic rings have not been thoroughly studied despite widespread use. Herein, we evaluate the recognition of a series of amide isosteres by the AF9 YEATS domain using genetic code expansion to evaluate the amide isostere-π interaction. We show that compared to the amide-π interaction with the native ligand, each isostere exhibits similar electrostatic tunability with an aromatic residue in the binding pocket, demonstrating that the isosteres maintain similar interactions with the aromatic residue. We identify a urea-containing ligand that binds with enhanced affinity for the AF9 YEATS domain, offering a promising starting point for inhibitor development. Furthermore, we demonstrate that carbamate and urea isosteres of crotonyllysine are resistant to enzymatic removal by SIRT1, a protein that cleaves acyl post-translational modifications, further indicating the potential of amide isosteres in YEATS domain inhibitor development. These results also provide experimental precedent for interactions of these common drug discovery moieties with aromatic rings that can inform computational methods.

Abstract
Unprecedented self-assembly of a novel 14-membered cyclic bis-thiosemicarbazone or/and a 28-membered cyclic tetrakis-thiosemicarbazone upon acid-promoted cyclooligomerization of 4-(4-thiosemicarbazido)butan-2-one hydrazone has been discovered. A thorough study of the influence of various factors on the direction of macrocyclization provided the optimal conditions for the highly selective formation of each of the macrocycles in excellent yields. Plausible pathways for macrocyclizations have been discussed. The macrocycle precursor was prepared by the reaction of readily available 4-isothiocyanatobutan-2-one with an excess of hydrazine.

Abstract
In this work a new donor of nitric oxide (NO) with antibacterial properties, namely nitrosyl iron complex of [Fe(C6H5C-SNH2)2(NO)2][Fe(C6H5C-SNH2)(S2O3)(NO)2] composition (complex I), has been synthesized and studied. Complex I was produced by the reduction of the aqueous solution of [Fe2(S2O3)2(NO)2]2- dianion by the thiosulfate, with the further treatment of the mixture by the acidified alcohol solution of thiobenzamide. Based on the structural study of I (X-ray analysis, quantum chemical calculations by NBO and QTAIM methods in the frame of DFT), the data were obtained on the presence of the NO…NO interactions, which stabilize the DNIC dimer in the solid phase. The conformation properties, electronic structure and free energies of complex I hydration were studied using B3LYP functional and the set of 6-31 + G(d,p) basis functions. The effect of an aquatic surrounding was taken into account in the frame of a polarized continuous model (PCM). The NO-donating activity of complex I was studied by the amperometry method using an "amiNO-700" sensor electrode of the "inNO Nitric Oxide Measuring System". The antibacterial activity of I was studied on gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and gram-positive (Micrococcus luteus) bacteria. Cytotoxicity was studied using Vero cells. Complex I was found to exhibit antibacterial activity comparable to that of antibiotics, and moderate toxicity to Vero cells.

Abstract
Sulfur is an essential element for a variety of cellular constituents in all living organisms and adds considerable functionality to a wide range of biomolecules. The pathways for incorporating sulfur into central metabolites of the cell such as cysteine, methionine, cystathionine, and homocysteine have long been established. Furthermore, the importance of persulfide intermediates during the biosynthesis of thionucleotide-containing tRNAs, iron-sulfur clusters, thiamin diphosphate, and the molybdenum cofactor are well known. This review briefly surveys these topics while emphasizing more recent aspects of sulfur metabolism that involve unconventional biosynthetic pathways. Sacrificial sulfur transfers from protein cysteinyl side chains to precursors of thiamin and the nickel-pincer nucleotide (NPN) cofactor are described. Newer aspects of synthesis for lipoic acid, biotin, and other compounds are summarized, focusing on the requisite iron-sulfur cluster destruction. Sulfur transfers by using a noncore sulfide ligand bound to a [4Fe-4S] cluster are highlighted for generating certain thioamides and for alternative biosynthetic pathways of thionucleotides and the NPN cofactor. Thioamide formation by activating an amide oxygen atom via phosphorylation also is illustrated. The discussion of these topics stresses the chemical reaction mechanisms of the transformations and generally avoids comments on the gene/protein nomenclature or the sources of the enzymes. This work sets the stage for future efforts to decipher the diverse mechanisms of sulfur incorporation into biological molecules.

Abstract
The cis-trans isomerization of (thio)amides was studied by DFT calculations to get the model for the higher preference for the cis conformation by guided predictive chemistry, suggesting how to select the alkyl/aryl substituents on the C/N atoms that lead to the trans isomer. Multilinear analysis, together with cross-validation analysis, helped to select the best fitting parameters to achieve the energy barriers of the cis to trans interconversion, as well as the relative stability between both isomers. Double experimental check led to the synthesis of the best trans candidate with sterically demanding t-butyl substituents, confirming the utility of predictive chemistry, bridging organic and computational chemistry.

Abstract
Amide bond replacement with planar isosteric chalcogen analogues has an important implication for the properties of the N-C(X) linkage in structural chemistry, biochemistry and organic synthesis. Herein, we report the first higher chalcogen derivatives of non-planar twisted amides. The synthesis of twisted thioamide in a versatile system has been accomplished by direct thionation without cleavage of the σ N-C bond. The synthesis of twisted selenoamide has been accomplished by selenation with Woollins' reagent. The structures of higher chalcogen analogues of non-planar amides were unambiguously confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Reactivity studies were conducted to determine the effect of isologous N-C(O) to N-C(X) replacement on the properties of the amide linkage. Computational studies were employed to evaluate structural and energetic parameters of amide bond alteration in higher chalcogen amides. The study provides the first experimental evidence on the effect of chalcogen isologues on the structural and electronic properties of the non-planar amide N-C(X) linkage.

Abstract
The thioamide is a naturally-occurring single atom substitution of the canonical amide bond. The exchange of oxygen to sulfur alters the amide's physical and chemical characteristics, thereby expanding its functionality. Incorporation of thioamides in prevalent secondary structures has demonstrated that they can either have stabilizing, destabilizing, or neutral effects. We performed a systematic investigation of the structural impact of thioamide incorporation in a β-hairpin scaffold with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Thioamides as hydrogen bond donors did not increase the foldedness of the more stable "YKL" variant of this scaffold. In the less stable "HPT" variant of the scaffold, the thioamide could be stabilizing as a hydrogen bond donor and destabilizing as a hydrogen bond acceptor, but the extent of the perturbation depended upon the position of incorporation. To better understand these effects we performed structural modelling of the macrocyclic folded HPT variants. Finally, we compare the thioamide effects that we observe to previous studies of both side-chain and backbone perturbations to this β-hairpin scaffold to provide context for our observations.

Abstract
Thioamides are 'single-atom' isosteres of amide bonds that have found broad applications in organic synthesis, biochemistry and drug discovery. In this New Talent themed issue, we present a general strategy for activation of N-C(S) thioamide bonds by ground-state-destabilization. This concept is outlined in the context of a full study on transamidation of thioamides with nucleophilic amines, and relies on (1) site-selective N-activation of the thioamide bond to decrease resonance and (2) highly chemoselective nucleophilic acyl addition to the thioamide CS bond. The follow-up collapse of the tetrahedral intermediate is favored by the electronic properties of the amine leaving group. The ground-state-destabilization concept of thioamides enables weakening of the N-C(S) bond and rationally modifies the properties of valuable thioamide isosteres for the development of new methods in organic synthesis. We fully expect that in analogy to the burgeoning field of destabilized amides introduced by our group in 2015, the thioamide bond ground-state-destabilization activation concept will find broad applications in various facets of chemical science, including metal-free, metal-catalyzed and metal-promoted reaction pathways.

Abstract
Thioamides represent highly valuable isosteric in the strictest sense "single-atom substitution" analogues of amides that have found broad applications in chemistry and biology. A long-standing challenge is the direct transamidation of thioamides, a process which would convert one thioamide bond (R-C(S)-NR1 R2 ) into another (R-C(S)-NR3 N4 ). Herein, we report the first general method for the direct transamidation of thioamides by highly chemoselective N-C(S) transacylation. The method relies on site-selective N-tert-butoxycarbonyl activation of 2° and 1° thioamides, resulting in ground-state-destabilization of thioamides, thus enabling to rationally manipulate nucleophilic addition to the thioamide bond. This method showcases a remarkably broad scope including late-stage functionalization (>100 examples). We further present extensive DFT studies that provide insight into the chemoselectivity and provide guidelines for the development of transamidation methods of the thioamide bond.

Abstract
Environmentally friendly ynamide-mediated thioamidation of monothiocarboxylic acids with amines or ammonium hydroxide for the syntheses of thioamides and primary thioamides is described. Simple and mild reaction conditions enable the reaction to tolerate a wide variety of functional groups such as hydroxyl group, ester, tertiary amine, ketone, and amide moieties. Readily available NaSH served as the sulfur source, avoiding the use of toxic, expensive, and malodorous organic sulfur reagents and making this strategy environmentally friendly and practical. Importantly, the stereochemical integrity of α-chiral monothiocarboxylic acids was maintained during the activation step and subsequent aminolysis process, thus offering a racemization-free strategy for peptide C-terminal modification. Furthermore, a number of thioamide-modified drugs were prepared in good yields by using this protocol and the synthesized primary thioamides were transformed into backbone thiazolyl modified peptides.
