Description

• General description: HCTU [1] is a novel aminium-based coupling reagent, analogous to HBTU, which in comparative studies was found to give superiort results to TBTU in the synthesis of difficult peptides [2], in hindered couplings [3], and cyclizations [4].Associated Protocols and Technical ArticlesGuide to Selection of Coupling ReagentsLiterature references[1] O.
