• Bennett, H.S. and Luft, J.H., J. Biophys. Biochem. Cytol. , 6 : 113 (1959).
• Superior base for peptide coupling reactions, causing less racemization than the more commonly used N-ethyldiisopropylamine or N-methylmorpholine: J. Org. Chem., 59,695 (1994). For comparison with other hindered bases, see: J. Org. Chem., 61, 2460 (1996). For peptide reagents, see Appendix 6.
