Triazine-based condensing reagents

The synthesis, properties, and application of condensing reagents derived from 1,3,5-triazines are described. The mechanism of activation of carboxylic function, structure of reactive intermediates, and mechanism of acylation of nucleophiles are presented. The synthetic versatility of mono- and bifunctional reagents for syntheses in solution, triazine-based immobilized reagents, chiral triazines for enantiodifferentiating syntheses, are discussed. The scope and limitation of the synthetic utility of triazine reagents in the preparation of heterocyclic compounds, amides, esters, oligopeptides-including large-scale syntheses and use in the combinatorial chemistry-is demonstrated.
