In S ‐acylcysteines and homocysteines, the efficacy and rate of S → N ‐acyl transfer (5 and 6 cyclic TSs) vary with the size of S ‐acyl group. Conformational and quantum chemical calculations indicate that the spatial distance, b(N‐C), between the terminal amine and the thioester carbon is shortened by α‐C(O)X (X = OH, OMe, NH 2 ) substituents.
