Be squared: expanding the horizon of squaric acid-mediated conjugations

Harm-Anton Klok, Frederik Roman Wurm

Squaric acid diesters can be applied as reagents to couple two amino-functional compounds. Consecutive coupling of two amines allows the synthesis of asymmetric squaric acid bisamides with either low molecular weight compounds but also biomolecules or poly ...
