TPTU

TPTU applied in large scale applications for the synthesis of Pharmaceuticals, in particular in situations where sensitive functionality is present on the coupling partners, and as a consequence, mild reaction conditions are required.

Applications

  • TPTU together with HOBt have been used in coupling reactions, leading to the impressive outcomes of couplings free of racemization, thus are the reagents of choice for segment condensations.
  • TPTU has been applied in the preparation of activated Fmoc-His(Trt)-OH, reducing the racemization. Application of these coupling methods improved the quality of the crude product significantly, thus, this contribution represents a further step towards an optimal strategy for the incorporation of His. This method helps to overcome the problem of racemization for the His residue, a prerequisite for the synthesis of large peptides and proteins.
