HBTU 25 G

General description

TBTU and HBTU are two of the most popular in situ activation reagents used in solid phase and solution phase peptide synthesis ^{[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]}. These reagents offer reactivity similar to symmetrical anhydrides and BOP ^[1]. Couplings proceed smoothly and rates can even be enhanced by the addition of HOBt ^[2,4,5,6]. In addition to having high reactivity, TBTU and HBTU have also been shown to limit enantiomerization during fragment condensation and during DMAP catalyzed esterification of arginine derivatives ^[3]. Comparative experiments between HBTU and TBTU have shown that the counter ion has no influence on coupling rates or levels of enantiomerization ^[1].
