1,1''-(Azodicarbonyl)dipiperidine (ADDP) is a reagent commonly used in the Mitsunobu reaction for the condensation of an alcohol and an acidic compound. It has been used as a reagent in the synthesis of G protein-coupled receptor 120 (GPR120) agonists with antidiabetic activity and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα), PPARγ, and PPARδ triple agonists.
It is used in a study of the copper-catalyzed addition of aryboronic acids to azodicarboxyl derivatives providing aryl-substituted hydrazides. It is widely used reagent for the Mitsunobu reaction. It is reactant for preparation of polyfluoroalkylated tripyrazolylmethane ligands, (-)-Hygromycin A via Mitsunobu glycosylation, optically active α,α-disubstituted amino acids via Mitsunobu reaction, aza-β-lactams through [2+2] cycloaddition reactions, glycosyl disulfides, pyridine ether PPAR agonists, S-glycosyl amino acid, building blocks for combinatorial neoglycopeptide synthesis and is a histamine H3 receptor antagonists. It is a reactant for Mitsunobu inversion reactions.
