Structure[edit]

I've scoured the net for references on the structure of DCC, but have only found skeletal formulae.

Has its crystal or molecular structure been determined?

I think the discussion of resonance in DCC would be supplemented nicely with some solid facts!

Incorrect reaction[edit]

The reaction schemes has an error. The product is ethanal, but the starting material is methanol. There is no addition of a carbon nucleus in this reaction, and the product should be formaldehyde (or the reactant should be ethanol). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.104.16.144 (talk) 18:44, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Section on Peptide coupling[edit]

I think this section needs to sound a bit more scientific - some of the words used (to be pedantic) aren't the best such as nucleophilic attack by the amine being more "efficient", or saying that the carboxylate group is made more electrophilic when specifically it's the carbonyl group in the carboxylate species. If I have the time I'll try to edit it or draw in a mechanism (which this section would benefit from unless people think it is already explained in the general carbodiimide article).13:13, 1 May 2013 (UTC)129.215.5.255 (talk) DH

What about the OTHER DCC[edit]

I presume that there is also an N,N-Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, mentioned e.g. in doi:10.1016/j.polymer.2005.07.088. Or is that an error by the author? --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 22:48, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

on the other name of DCC[edit]

in the chemistry box, I think ther is a mistake on the other name of DCC. indeed Cyclohexanamine is an other molecule made of a cyclohexane ring with an amine as substituant. I delete this other name--Nebuchad59 (talk) 20:53, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
