Significance

The coupling reaction between carboxylic acids and amines using coupling reagents is generally used for the synthesis of peptides. However, this reaction generates a large amount of waste derived from the coupling reagent. The authors have developed a peptide coupling using recyclable bicyclic benziodazolones.

Comment

This coupling reaction using bicyclic benziodazolones A or B produced various dipeptides in high to good yield. After the reaction, A and B could be recovered as I(I) species. Also, electrochemical oxidation of this I(I) species reproduced A and B, and these regenerated A and B promoted a peptide coupling reaction.
