Abstract

A series of N-formyl amides were synthesized by condensation of N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)formamide with acid chlorides (59-90% yields), or by reaction of hydroxyglycyl peptides with 90% hydrogen peroxide (45% yield); a number of N-formyl amides which bear a phenyl substituent are mechanism-based irreversible inactivators of peptidylglycine α-hydroxylating monooxygenases purified from pig pituitary and from honeybee heads.
