1-Ethyl-3-(3′-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide

Description:
1-Ethyl-3-(3′-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide, commonly referred to as EDC, is a water-soluble carbodiimide used primarily as a coupling agent in peptide synthesis and other organic reactions. It facilitates the formation of amide bonds between carboxylic acids and amines by activating the carboxyl group, making it more reactive towards nucleophilic attack. EDC is characterized by its ability to promote reactions in aqueous environments, which is advantageous for bioconjugation applications. The compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and has a relatively low molecular weight. Its reactivity can be influenced by the presence of various functional groups in the reaction mixture. EDC is often used in conjunction with other reagents, such as N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS), to enhance coupling efficiency and minimize side reactions. Safety precautions are necessary when handling EDC, as it can be irritating to the skin and eyes, and proper laboratory practices should be followed to mitigate exposure.
