“…Typically, natural peptide coupling systems are suitable for hydrazinoacid couplings. The proven methods for the hydrazide linkage include the use of coupling reagents such as DCC/DMAP, 252,253 EDCI/HOBt, 224 DIC, 229 DIC/HOBt, 227 HATU/NMM, 231 HBTU/HOBt/DIEA, 229 BOP/DIEA, 246 activated esters (OSu), 218,229,246,254 mixed anhydrides, 218 acid chlorides 254 fluorides 234,255 and N-(acyl)benzotriazoles. 230 In fact, the critical factor in obtaining hydrazino compounds is regioselectivity.…”
