The mechanism for a peptide coupling reagent using 2-bromo-3-ethyl-4-methyl thiazolium tetrafluoroborate (BEMT). This coupling agent was synthesized and successfully applied to the synthesis of oligopeptides containing N-alkyl or α-C-dialkyl amino acids.

![L-Selectride Reduction Mechanism | Organic Chemistry
The mechanism for the reduction of a ketone to an alcohol using L-Selectride. There are multiple reagents that have the formula M[HB(sec-Bu)3] which are all used as reducing agents. There are three different cations with these reducing agents and they are L-Selectride (lithium), N-Selectride (sodium), and K-Selectride (potassium). Due to the sec butyl groups on these reducing agents, these reagents are sensitive to steric influences which has the potential to allow for stereoselective reactions.
