  • HOBt is one of the most effective suppressors of racemization in carbodiimide-mediated reactions.
  • The most important drawback of the additive lies in its explosive character, especially in water-free form. Therefore, its availability is more restricted today but it can be substituted by more stable additives as OxymaPure and K-Oxyma.
  • Polymer-bound HOBt is used for the formation of medium ring lactams with DCC in the presence of resin-bound esters and also for amides synthesis.
