T-Bec

T-Bec® is a novel carbodiimide that outperforms DIC, and does not lead to HCN formation in the presence of OxymaPure. Its urea (TBEU) is highly soluble in DMF and most of the green and binary solvents.

CAS: 1433-27-8  

Synonym: 1-tert-Butyl-3-ethylcarbodiimide

Appearance

Light yellow to colorless transparent liquid

Storage Conditions

Store in a cool and dry place (2-8oC)

Applications

  • T-Bec® carbodiimide is more efficient than DIC.
  • Contrary to DIC, T-Bec® does not form an oxadiazole side-product in the presence of OxymaPure that does not lead to the formation of HCN.
  • Urea of T-Bec® (TBEU) is very soluble in most commonly employed peptide coupling solvents, such as DMF or NMP, and future green binary solvents which prevent clogging of the manufacturing equipment.
  • T-Bec® uses the same coupling protocols as other carbodiimides.
  • It is considered the greener coupling reagent.
