General description

N,N′-Diisopropylcarbodiimide(DIC) is a liquid carbodiimide that contains the functional group RN=C=NR. It is soluble in most organic solvents. DIC is used as a coupling agent in peptide synthesis.

Application

  • Synthesis, structure and reactivity study of magnesium amidinato complexes derived from carbodiimides and N, N′-bis (2, 6-diisopropylphenyl)-1, 4-diaza …: This study involved the preparation of magnesium amidinato complexes using N,N′-Diisopropylcarbodiimide, exploring their structural and reactive properties in various chemical transformations (S Anga, J Bhattacharjee, A Harinath, TK Panda, 2015).
