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.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
