Abstract

... We now report the synthesis and chemistry of bis[[4-(2,2-dimethyl-l,3-diox- olyl) lmethyllcarbodiimide (BDDC, 1) and that of several ... The neutrality of the propanediol isopropylidene ketal side chains allows for enhanced organic solubility, ease of isourea formation, and use. ... J. ...
