[GRAPHICS]
A dramatic solubility increase in fluorous solvents is observed for N,N ' -
di(polyfluoroalkyl)ureas when hydrogen binding complexes are formed with co
mmercially available perfluoroalkanoic acid scavengers. As a case example,
analytically pure peptides and esters are obtained using this novel separat
ion method.
