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

1-Ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride is a carbodiimide reagent that can form nucleic acid and compounds with amide bonds. 1-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride accelerates the formation reaction of esters, amides, and peptides, as a condensing and dehydrating agent, which are often used for polynucleotide synthesis, anhydroxydation, lactonization and esterification.
