The influence of Li‐salts on the course of peptide‐coupling reactions was investigated. As a model for segment couplings, Ac‐Phe‐OH was coupled to HCl·H‐Ala‐OMe using the mixed anhydride, DCC1, DCCl/HOBt, BOP‐ Castro and TBTU‐ Knorr methods. As a model for stepwise synthesis Z‐Phe‐OH was coupled with HCl·Ala‐O( t ‐Bu), using symmetrical anhydrides and active esters. The effects of salt additives such as LiCl, LiBr, LiC10 4 , and ZnCl 2 on yields, side‐product formation, racemisation, and reaction rates are reported.
