Applications
- TSTU is used in intramolecular cyclization of 2-acyl-benzoic acids mediated, leading to diversely substituted (Z)-3-ylidenephthalides. The application of the method is highlighted by gram-scale preparation of the antiplatelet drug n-butylphthalide.
- TSTU, HOSu, and CuCl2 have been applied as coupling cocktail, proved to completely eliminate the racemization of the carboxy-terminal N-methylamino acid residue during segment condensation.
- Polymer-TSTU and Polymer-HSTU have been prepared from polymeric Nhydroxysuccinimide (P-HOSu) and used as solid-supported reagents for peptide coupling reactions.
Studies
- Transition-metal-free synthesis of (Z)-3-ylidenephthalides from 2-acyl-benzoic acids
