N,N'-Diisopropylcarbodiimide

N,N-Diisopropylcarbodiimide is a carbodiimide used in peptide synthesis.[1] [2]As a liquid, it is easier to handle than the commonly used N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, a waxy solid. In addition, N,N-diisopropylurea, its byproduct in many chemical reactions, is soluble in most organic solvents, a property that facilitates work-up.

Safety

edit

In vivo dermal sensitization studies according to OECD 429[3] confirmed DIC is a strong skin sensitizer, showing a response at 0.20 wt% in the Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA) placing it in Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) Dermal Sensitization Category 1A.[4] Thermal hazard analysis by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) shows DIC poses minimal explosion risks.[5]
