Diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (DIAD) is a versatile azo reagent widely used in organic synthesis, particularly for the Mitsunobu reaction. Its molecular formula is C6H14N4O4 and CAS number is 4009-70-5. The compound serves as a critical oxidant in converting alcohols to esters or ethers under mild conditions.
Strictly store in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from incompatible materials. DIAD is highly toxic and a suspected carcinogen; PPE including gloves and goggles is mandatory during handling to prevent skin contact and inhalation.
