Abstract

Carbodiimides are important reagents in synthetic chemistry and are employed in a wide variety of transformations, l generally functioning as dehydrating agents. Carbodiimides such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC), and 1-(3- (dimethylamino)-propyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) are used primarily as peptide coupling reagents and are employed less frequently for direct 0-acylations.
