CAS 2491-17-0: 1-Cyclohexyl-3-(2-morpholinoethyl)carbodiimide metho-p-toluenesulfonate
Description:1-Cyclohexyl-3-(2-morpholinoethyl)carbodiimide metho-p-toluenesulfonate, commonly referred to as EDC (a derivative), is a chemical compound primarily used as a coupling agent in peptide synthesis and other organic reactions. It facilitates the formation of amide bonds by activating carboxylic acids, making them more reactive towards nucleophiles, such as amines. The compound features a carbodiimide functional group, which is known for its ability to form stable intermediates with carboxylic acids. The presence of the morpholinoethyl group enhances its solubility in polar solvents, while the metho-p-toluenesulfonate moiety contributes to its stability and reactivity. EDC is typically used in aqueous or organic solvent systems and is favored for its mild reaction conditions and minimal side reactions. However, it is important to handle this compound with care, as it can be sensitive to moisture and may produce byproducts that require careful purification. Overall, EDC is a valuable reagent in synthetic organic chemistry, particularly in bioconjugation and peptide synthesis applications.
