General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product is a Safer, non-explosive and more effective replacement for Benzotriazole-Based peptide coupling reagents and thus aligns with "Less Hazardous Chemical Synthesis" and "Inherently Safer Chemistry for Accident Prevention". Click here for more information.

Application

COMU – Safer and More Efficient Peptide Coupling Reagent

Advantages
  • Equal or even superior performance to HATU
  • Non-explosive (does not contain benzotriazole moiety)
  • Suitable for solution phase & solid phase peptide synthesis
  • Utmost retention of configuration – low to non-existent racemization
  • High solubility and stability in typical solvents
  • Visual or colorimetric reaction monitoring possible
  • Easy removal of water-soluble by-products
