General Description

Uronium nitrate refers to a group of chemical compounds that contain the uronium cation (NRR'R''+) and the nitrate anion (NO3-). These compounds are commonly used as coupling reagents in organic synthesis, especially in peptide and nucleic acid synthesis. Uronium nitrate compounds are known for their ability to efficiently activate carboxylic acids to form active ester intermediates, which then react with nucleophiles such as amines and alcohols to form amide and ester linkages, respectively. This reactivity makes uronium nitrate compounds valuable tools for the production of pharmaceuticals, natural products, and other organic chemicals. They have also been studied as potential replacements for less environmentally friendly coupling reagents, as they are typically more atom-economical and produce less waste.
