Abstract

Use of uronium salt (1-cyano-2-ethoxy-2-oxoethylidenaminooxy)dimethylaminomorpholinocarbenium hexafluorophosphate (COMU) as a coupling reagent, 2,6-lutidine, and TPGS-750-M enables a general, mild, and environmentally responsible method for the formation of amide/peptide bonds in an aqueous micellar medium. The aqueous reaction medium is recyclable leading to low E Factors.
