Claim: Diisopropyl azodicarboxylate(C8H14N2O4) is the diisopropyl ester of azodicarboxylic mineral and reagent in the production of many organic compounds.which serves as an oxidizer of triphenylphosphine to triphenylphosphine oxide and as a selective deprotectant of N-benzyl groups in the presence of other protecting groups.
Evidence: Diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (DIAD) is the diisopropyl ester of azodicarboxylic acid. It is used as a reagent in the production of many organic compounds. It is often used in the Mitsunobu reaction, where it serves as an oxidizer of triphenylphosphine to triphenylphosphine oxide. It can also serve as a selective deprotectant of N-benzyl groups in the presence of other protecting groups. Chemical formula C8H14N2O4
