| Application: | N,N′-Diisopropylcarbodiimide can be used: • To synthesize lanthanide (Ln) guanidinate complexes via insertion of carbodiimide into the Ln-N bond of lanthanocene secondary amido complexes. • To facilitate the cyclization of N-(β-Hydroxy)amides to form 2-oxazolines. • To synthesize 1-isopropyl-2-alkoxycarbo |
| Application: | Alternative to dicyclohexylcarbodiimide in peptide synthesis. |
| Application: | DIC can be used as: • A coupling reagent for the synthesis of various esters and amides by treating carboxylic acids with phenols and amines respectively. • A reagent for the conversion of alcohols to aldehydes or ketones in the presence of DMSO via modified Moffatt-type oxidation reaction. • A reagent to facilitates the preparation of alkyl halides from corresponding alcohols via the formation of o-alkylisourea. |
| General description: | N,N′-Diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC) is a carbodiimide used as a coupling reagent in the synthesis of amides, peptides, ureas, heterocycles, and unsymmetrical carbodiimides. It is also used in the polymerization reactions as an activator. |
