N,N’-Carbonyldiimidazole (CDI), with the CAS number 530-62-1, is a highly versatile organic reagent widely recognized as a safe and efficient coupling agent. It is primarily used in peptide synthesis and for the preparation of various carboxylic acid derivatives, such as amides, esters, and acid anhydrides, serving as a crucial substitute for highly toxic phosgene. A significant operational advantage of CDI is its reaction mechanism, which generates only imidazole as a byproduct. This byproduct is a relatively benign gas that is easily removed, thereby greatly simplifying the purification process and minimizing waste. This characteristic, combined with its high reactivity, makes CDI exceptionally valuable across multiple industries, most notably in pharmaceutical manufacturing for drug development and in polymer chemistry. The chemical appears as a white crystalline powder with a molecular formula of C7H6N4O and a molecular weight of 162.15. It has a melting point of 117-122°C and a boiling point of approximately 288.8°C, with a density of 1.303 g/cm³.
