The ability to speed up conventional Fmoc solid‐phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) has many advantages including increased productivity. One way to speed up conventional Fmoc SPPS is the choice of activator. Recently, several new activators have been introduced into the market, and they were evaluated a

Abstract
1__H__‐Benzotriazolium 1‐[bis(dimethyl‐amino)methylene]‐5‐chloro‐hexafluorophosphate (1‐),3‐oxide (HCTU) is a nontoxic, nonirritating and noncorrosive coupling reagent. Seven biologically active peptides (GHRP‐6, ^65–74^ACP, oxytocin, G‐LHRH, C‐peptide, hAmylin~1–37~, and β‐amyloid~1–42~) were synthesized with reaction times reduced to deprotection times of 3 min or less and coupling times of 5 min or less using HCTU as the coupling reagent. Expensive coupling reagents or special techniques were not used. Total peptide synthesis times were dramatically reduced by as much as 42.5 h (1.8 days) without reducing the crude peptide purities. It was shown that HCTU can be used as an affordable, efficient coupling reagent for fast Fmoc solid‐phase peptide synthesis. Copyright © 2007 European Peptide Society and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
