HCTU is an amidinium coupling reagent used in peptide synthesis. It is analogous to HBTU.[1] The HOBt moiety has a chlorine in the 6 position which improves reaction rates and the synthesis of difficult couplings[2][3] HCTU and related reagents containing the 6-chloro-1-hydroxybenzotriazole moiety can be prepared by reaction with TCFH under basic conditions.[4] It can exist in an N-form (guanidinium) or an O-form (uronium), but the N-form is generally considered to be more stable for this class of reagent.[5] In vivo dermal sensitization studies according to OECD 429 confirmed HCTU is a strong skin sensitizer, showing a response at 0.50 wt% in the Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA) placing it in Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) Dermal Sensitization Category 1A.[6]
