Product Overview
N,N-Diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA) is a high-purity, sterically hindered organic base widely used in peptide synthesis due to its strong basicity and low nucleophilicity. This synthesis-grade reagent ensures minimal side reactions, making it ideal for sensitive applications where precise control over reaction conditions is critical. The liquid form allows for easy handling and accurate dosing in laboratory settings. DIPEA is particularly valued for its ability to deprotonate amines and other weakly acidic compounds without competing in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Its high boiling point and stability under standard conditions further enhance its utility in organic synthesis. Whether used in solid-phase peptide synthesis or solution-phase reactions, this reagent delivers consistent performance, ensuring reliable results in research and development environments.
