Application

  • High-throughput parallel synthesis optimization of Glucagon-like Peptide 1 receptor agonists: Describes the use of HCTU as a reactive coupling reagent in peptide synthesis, highlighting its effectiveness in the production of GLP-1 agonists. (Ramos-Colón et al., 2018).
  • An efficient synthesis of quinoxaline derivatives using HCTU as catalyst in DMF: Outlines a novel method for synthesizing quinoxaline and its derivatives using HCTU, highlighting its catalytic properties in facilitating efficient chemical reactions. (Sasane et al., 2023).
  • An efficient one-pot conversion of carboxylic acids into benzimidazoles via an HBTU-promoted methodology: Describes the use of HCTU in a methodology to convert carboxylic acids into benzimidazoles, noting its role alongside other carbodiimide agents. (Barasa and Yoganathan, 2018).

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].
