Used as an activating agent in peptide synthesis, this compound facilitates the coupling of amino acids by enhancing the reactivity of carboxyl groups. It is particularly effective in solid-phase peptide synthesis where efficient and rapid amide bond formation is required. Its structure supports high solubility in polar aprotic solvents, making it suitable for use in automated synthesis protocols. Additionally, it helps minimize racemization during coupling steps, which is critical for maintaining the stereochemical integrity of the final peptide product.
