PyAOP reagent explained

PyAOP ((7-Azabenzotriazol-1-yloxy)tripyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate) is a reagent used to prepare amides from carboxylic acids and amines in the context of peptide synthesis.[1] It can be prepared from 1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole (HOAt) and a chlorophosphonium reagent under basic conditions.[2] It is a derivative of the HOAt family of amide bond forming reagents. It is preferred over HATU, because it does not engage in side reactions with the N-terminus of the peptide.[3] Compared to the HOBt-containing analog PyBOP, PyAOP is more reactive due to the additional nitrogen in the fused pyridine ring of the HOAt moiety.[4] Thermal hazard analysis by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) shows PyAOP is potentially explosive.[5]
