N,N'-Disuccinimidyl carbonate

Chemical Properties

N,N'-Disuccinimidyl carbonate is white to slightly yellow crystalline powder

Uses

N,N'-Disuccinimidyl carbonate is a convenient reagent for the synthesis of N-succinimidyl esters of N-protected amino acids.

Uses

N,N’Disuccinimidyl Carbonate is a commonly used reagent for the preparation of N-succinimidyl esters of N-protected amino acids, activated carbonate, synthesis of urea, carbamates and coupling of lig ands to proteins. The coupling reagent property of N,N’Disuucinimidyl Carbonate speeds up coupling process, while reduces the loss of chiral integrity.

Uses

N,N'-Disuccinimidyl carbonate is used to prepare cleavable linker succinimide vinylsufonylethyl carbonate for thiol modified-DNA. It serves as a reagent for the synthesis of carbamates. Further, it is used as a coupling reagent as well as in the preparation of N-succinimidyl esters of N-protected amino acids, activated carbonate and coupling of ligand to proteins.
