Peptide Coupling Conclusions • Most reagents are not broadly applicable, relatively narrow uses. • Specialized, expensive reagents work well for SPPS • -High yields required, by products can be washed out • -Simpler, cheaper all-purpose reagents better for solution phase: • - HATU & HBTU – general and excellent reactivity. • - HATU favoured for quick coupling times • - DIC/HOBt still among the best combinations • - Substitute EDC when inseparable by-products become problematic • - For hindered couplings: PyBrop for N-Me amino acids • PyBop for hindered tertiary amino acid couplings • Triazines for hindered quaternary amino acids • - PS-IIDQ and PS-Mukaiyama reagents best for library synthesis • -Finally, keep it simple, don’t be mislead by needlessly expensive reagents • Main refs: E.Valeur, M.
