Properties and Usage:

N,N'-Carbonyl diimidazole (CDI) is an organic compound commonly used as an acylation agent and condensation agent.

Main characteristics and application areas:

1. A powerful tool for acylation reactions

CDI is an excellent acylation agent that can efficiently react with alcohols, amines, acids or phenolic compounds to generate esters, amides and carbonate compounds. This makes it an indispensable tool in organic synthesis, which can easily introduce acyl groups and improve synthesis efficiency.

2. The key to carboxylic acid activation

CDI can effectively activate carboxylic acids and react them with amines to generate amides. It is particularly important in peptide synthesis. CDI is the core reagent for synthesizing peptide bonds and is widely used in the coupling steps of peptide chemistry.

3. Application in cyclization reactions

In cyclization reactions, CDI can be used as a cyclizing agent to synthesize nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds, such as imidazole rings.

4. Selection of catalysts and additives

CDI can also be used as a catalyst or additive to promote a variety of organic reactions. It can be used as a dehydrating agent for aldehydes or ketones to generate important intermediates such as imines or enamines.
