Product Overview
N,N’-Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) 1M solution is a highly efficient coupling reagent widely used in organic synthesis and peptide chemistry. This solution is prepared in a high-purity solvent, ensuring consistent performance in amide bond formation and esterification reactions. The 1M concentration provides optimal reactivity while maintaining stability during storage. DCC is particularly valued for its ability to facilitate condensation reactions with minimal side product formation. The solution is free from impurities that could interfere with sensitive reactions, making it a reliable choice for laboratory applications. Its stability and ease of handling make it suitable for both small-scale and larger synthetic processes. The product is packaged in a sealed container to prevent moisture absorption and degradation, ensuring long-term usability.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of N,N’-Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide 1M solution?
The solution remains stable for 12-24 months when stored at room temperature in a tightly sealed container.
2. Is this solution compatible with aqueous solvents?
DCC is moisture-sensitive and reacts with water, so it should be used in anhydrous conditions.
3. Are there any alternatives to DCC for peptide synthesis?
Alternatives include EDC (1-Ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide) and DIC (Diisopropylcarbodiimide).
4. How should I store this solution to maintain its purity?
Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight, preferably under inert gas.
5. Can this solution be used for large-scale synthesis?
Yes, the 1M concentration is suitable for scaling up reactions, though additional purification may be required.
