PyAOP ((7-Azabenzotriazol-1-yloxy)tripyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate) is a reagent used to prepare amides from carboxylic acids and amines in the context of peptide synthesis.{{Cite journal |last=Mansour |first=Tarek S. |last2=Bardhan |first2=Sujata |last3=Wan |first3=Zhao-Kui |date=2010 |title=Phosphonium- and Benzotriazolyloxy-Mediated Bond-Forming Reactions and Their Synthetic Applications |url=http://www.thieme-connect.de/DOI/DOI?10.1055/s-0029-1219820 |journal=Synlett |language=en |volume=2010 |issue=08 |pages=1143–1169 |doi=10.1055/s-0029-1219820 |issn=0936-5214}} It can be prepared from 1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole (HOAt) and a chlorophosphonium reagent under basic conditions.{{Cite journal |last=Hoffmann |first=Frank |last2=Jäger |first2=Lothar |last3=Griehl |first3=Carola |date=2003-02-01 |title=Synthesis and Chemical Constitution of Diphenoxyphosphoryl Derivatives and Phosphonium Salts as Coupling Reagents for Peptide Segment Condensation |url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10426500307942 |journal=Phosphorus, Sulfur, and Silicon and the Related Elements |language=en |volume=178 |issue=2 |pages=299–309 |doi=10.1080/10426500307942 |issn=1042-6507}} It is a derivative of the HOAt family of amide bond forming reagents. It is preferred over HATU, because it does not engage in side reactions with the N-terminus of the peptide.{{Cite journal | doi = 10.1016/S0040-4039(97)01011-3 | title = On the use of PyAOP, a phosphonium salt derived from HOAt, in solid-phase peptide synthesis | year = 1997 | last1 = Albericio| first1 = F. |last2 = Cases| first2 = M. | last3 = Alsina | first3 = J. | last4 = Triolo | first4 = S.
