Significance

Peptide coupling reagents are extremely important in peptide synthesis. In 1999, Nájera and co-workers reported a method for synthesizing thiopyridone-derived uronium salts as coupling reagents. The reagents were prepared from cheap starting materials, making them more economical than conventional coupling reagents such as HOBt.

Comment

By using the thiopyridone-derived reagents as coupling reagents, various dipeptides were synthesized in moderate to excellent yields.
