2-ethoxy-1-ethoxycarbonyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline by Molecular Depot is a 2-ethoxy-1-ethoxycarbonyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline, known as EEDQ, a coupling reagent that activates a carboxylic acid as a mixed anhydride. EEDQ reacts with a carboxylic acid to form a mixed carbonic anhydride and releases quinoline and ethanol, so no urea or other insoluble by-product has to be separated from the product. It is used as a coupling reagent in amide and peptide bond formation, as an irreversible alpha-adrenoceptor antagonist in pharmacology and in organic synthesis. Each unit contains 1 g. MBP supplies Molecular Depot research reagents to research labs in the United States, Canada and worldwide.
