N,N-Diisopropylethylamine by Molecular Depot is a N,N-diisopropylethylamine, the hindered tertiary amine base known as Hunig′s base. The two isopropyl groups crowd the nitrogen so that it can remove a proton but cannot easily attack a carbon, which makes the amine a strong base and a poor nucleophile at the same time. It is used as a non-nucleophilic base in peptide coupling and solid phase synthesis, in alkylation and acylation reactions and in general organic synthesis. Each unit contains 25 mL. MBP supplies Molecular Depot research reagents to research labs in the United States, Canada and worldwide.
