Significance
The development of efficient and novel coupling reagents for peptide-bond formation is the backbone of the peptide industry and has attracted extreme attention for the last three decades. In 1999, Xu and Li developed an efficient thiazolium-type peptide coupling agent for the synthesis of peptides containing N-allyl amino acid residues.
Comment
2-Bromo-3-ethyl-4-methylthiazolium tetrafluoroborate (BEMT) is an efficient coupling agent for the synthesis of oligopeptides bearing N-alkyl or α-C-dialkyl amino acids. This coupling agent can produce a series of hindered peptides in high yields with negligible racemization. The mechanism of the coupling reaction was studied with the help of NMR, HPLC, and IR spectroscopy.
