Applications & Uses

Uses

2,2'-Dipyridyl disulfide is a useful reagent for determination of sulfhydryl groups, preparation of amino acid active esters and the thio esters of phosphoric acid. It acts as a peptide coupling reagent and as an oxidizing agent. It is also used for the activation of glycosides.

Uses

2,2'-Dipyridyldisulfide, sometimes known as DPS, is used for preparing thiols and activating or protecting carboxylic acid with triphenylphosphine.

Uses

2,2'-Dithiodipyridine was used in the synthesis of adenosine-5′-phosphoimidazolide. It was employed with PPh3 as a condensing agent in the amidation of carboxylic acid enantiomers for HPLC separation.

General Description

2,2'-Dithiodipyridine is a nucleocapsid zinc finger targeting compound and can abrogate the infectivity of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 virions. It is a thiol reagent.
