Application

N,N′-Disuccinimidyl carbonate (DSC) can be used to synthesize:
  • Various carbamate derivatives from primary and sterically hindered secondary alcohols by alkoxycarbonylation.
  • Active carbonate resins from 4-hydroxymethylpolystyrene and 4-hydroxymethyl-3-nitrobenzamido resins via hydroxy functional groups.
  • Aza-glycinyl dipeptides, important intermediates for the preparation of various azapeptides.

It may be also used:
  • In the two-step preparation of 5-(6-(azidomethyl)nicotinamido)pentanoic acid, a copper-chelating picolyl azide derivative.
  • To activate the hydroxyl group of the hapten, γ-hydroxyphenylbutazone (HPBZ) so that HPBZ can effectively bind with human serum albumin(HSA)-immunogen to form a hapten-protein conjugate.

Other Notes

Convenient reagent for preparing N-succinimidyl esters of N-protected amino acids and other acids; activated carbonate, e.g. synthesis of ureas and carbamates; coupling of ligands to proteins (via lysines).

Coupling Reagents

In principle, the seemingly simple formation of a peptide bond can be accomplished using all the procedures available in organic chemistry for the synthesis of carboxylic acid amides. However, due to the presence of various functional groups in natural and unnatural amino acids and particularly the requirement for full retention of chiral integrity, the coupling of amino acids and peptides under mild conditions can be challenging. A plethora of coupling reagents has been developed superseding each other in efficiency and suitability for specific applications (e.g., solid-phase peptide synthesis or fragment condensation).

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
