N,N′-Diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC) is an alternative to dicyclohexylcarbodiimide in peptide synthesis. It acts as a dehydrating agent in organic synthesis. It reacts with an amine or carboxylic acid to form a stable carbamate or carboxylic acid anhydride, respectively. This reaction is reversible and can be used to synthesize peptides and other organic compounds. N,N′-Diisopropylcarbodiimide is a versatile reagent used in organic synthesis and as a catalyst in many reactions. It is widely used in the synthesis of peptides, peptidomimetics, and other organic compounds.
