N,N'-Carbonyl diimidazole (CDI) is an organic reagent primarily used in peptide synthesis, protein modification, and pharmaceutical research. It serves as a coupling reagent in peptide bond formation, promoting the reaction between amines and carboxylic acids. CDI is widely used in chemical manufacturing, particularly in the creation of bioconjugates, owing to its efficiency in activating carboxyl groups. It also plays a crucial role in the synthesis of nucleic acid derivatives and other complex organic molecules
