Amide coupling is one of the most common reactions in organic chemistry and DMTMM is one reagent used for that reaction. The mechanism of DMTMM coupling is similar to other common amide coupling reactions involving activated carboxylic acids. [1] Its precursor, 2-chloro-4,6,-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazine (CDMT), has also been used for amide coupling.
The scheme above shows the general mechanistic steps for EDC-mediated coupling of carboxylic acids and amines under acidic conditions. The tetrahedral intermediate and the aminolysis steps are not shown explicitly. EDC couples primary amines, and other nucleophiles, [5] to carboxylic acids by creating an activated ester leaving group. First ...
HATU (Hexafluorophosphate Azabenzotriazole Tetramethyl Uronium) is a reagent used in peptide coupling chemistry to generate an active ester from a carboxylic acid. HATU is used along with Hünig's base (N,N-diisopropylethylamine), or triethylamine to form amide bonds.
TCFH itself is a common reagent used in the preparation of uronium and guanidinium salts used for amide bond formation and peptide synthesis, such as HATU. [3] [4] [5]Amide bond formation with TCFH can be performed in a wide range of organic solvents, most commonly acetonitrile, but also water [6] and in the solid state. [7]
BOP (benzotriazol-1-yloxytris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate) is a reagent commonly used for the synthesis of amides from carboxylic acids and amines in peptide synthesis. [1] [2] It can be prepared from 1-hydroxybenzotriazole and a chlorophosphonium reagent under basic conditions. [3]
It is commonly used as the hindered base in amide coupling reactions between a carboxylic acid (typically activated, for example, as an acid chloride, as illustrated below) and a nucleophilic amine. [5] As DIPEA is hindered and poorly nucleophilic, it does not compete with the nucleophilic amine in the coupling reaction.
N,N′-Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC or DCCD) [1] is an organic compound with the chemical formula (C 6 H 11 N) 2 C. It is a waxy white solid with a sweet odor. Its primary use is to couple amino acids during artificial peptide synthesis.
HBTU (Hexafluorophosphate Benzotriazole Tetramethyl Uronium) is a coupling reagent used in solid phase peptide synthesis. It was introduced in 1978 and shows resistance against racemization. [3] [4] It is used because of its mild activating properties. [5]
