N,N'-Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide

N,N'-Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), also known as Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, is a well-studied organic compound belonging to the amide family. Supplied by Actylis as a white to pale yellow solid with a sweet odor, it is hygroscopic and must be stored in a dry area. DCC plays a critical role as a pharmaceutical intermediate in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antihypertensive properties.
