1-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide is used as a carboxyl activating agent and activate phosphate groups in phospho mono and di esters. It is used in peptide synthesis, 3'-amino-3'-deoxyadenosine-5'-di- and triphosphates and in the preparation of antibodies like immunoconjugates. It plays a vital role for immobilization of large biomolecules in association with N-hydroxysuccinimide. It is also used in the acylation of phosphoranes.
