General description

Oxyma Pure (Ethyl cyano(hydroxyimino)acetate) is a non-explosive alternative to the canonical peptide coupling additive N-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt). When used in place of HOBt in carbodiimide-mediated peptide bond formation, it provides products in higher yields with less racemization. The combination of Oxyma Pure/diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC) has proven to be particularly effective in microwave-assisted peptide synthesis.
The generation of toxic hydrogen cyanide (HCN) from the reaction between Oxyma Pure and DIC has been observed. Fortunately, this side reaction can be eliminated by substituting DIC for the more hindered t-butylethylcarbodiimide.

Application

Further applications of Oxyma Pure:
  • Use in the synthesis of difficult peptides.
  • As an acidic modifier to prevent aspartimide formation.

Features and Benefits

  • Can be used in place of HOBt in carbodiimide-mediated coupling reactions without change of protocol
  • It gives results comparable to HOAt in step-wise solid-phase synthesis
  • Less epimerization than HOBt in fragment condensation reactions

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
