Significance

Development of practically handy and cost-effective methods for peptide synthesis is a highly demanding area of organic synthesis. In this study, the authors developed an elegant method for the synthesis of peptides by using unprotected amino acids with N-(Z-α-aminoacyl)benzotriazoles.

Comment

A series of peptides were prepared by coupling between unprotected amino acids with N-(Z-α-aminoacyl)benzotriazoles. This method is practically simple and the reaction proceeded with minimum epimerization under mild reaction conditions.
