65. Use of the common (peptide) coupling reagents [DCC, TCT, Hf(IV) salts, HBTU, HATU, and PyBroP] failed to provide the allenoate product. Presumably, the product allenoate is susceptible to nucleophilic attack by either a base present in the reaction medium or the byproducts derived from the coupling reagents. See the Supporting Information for details regarding the isolation and characterization of the product of N-hydroxybenzotriazole addition to the allenoate when using HBTU.
