General description

N,N′-Disuccinimidyl carbonate is used for the HPLC determination of amino compounds.

Application

N,N′-Disuccinimidyl carbonate may be used:
  • As an activating reagent for the reactive patterning of polymer brushes to couple primary amines via post-functionalization.
  • As an alkoxycarbonylating reagent for a variety of primary and sterically hindered secondary alcohols, which further allows the synthesis of different structurally diverse carbamates.
  • As a coupling agent for the synthesis of thiophospholipids, commonly used for anchoring biomembranes to gold surfaces.
It can also be used to prepare a heterobifunctional, cleavable linker-SVEC-(succinimide vinylsufonylethyl carbonate)-for thiol modified-DNA.

Understanding crystal polymorphism is a long-standing challenge relevant to many fields, such as pharmaceuticals, organic semiconductors, pigments, food, and explosives. Controlling polymorphism of organic semiconductors (OSCs) in thin films is particularly important given that such films form the active layer
