Properties of DL-Dithiothreitol CAS 3483-12-3
DL-Dithiothreitol is a commonly used reducing agent, also called dimercaptothreitol (DTT). It has a strong reducibility, and its reducibility is largely due to its oxidation state of the six-membered ring (containing disulfide). Bond) conformational stability. The reducing power is affected by the pH value of the Chemicalbook, and it can only play a reducing effect when the pH value is greater than 7. This is because only the deprotonated thiolate anions (-S–) are reactive, while mercaptans (-SH) do not; and the pKa of sulfhydryl groups is generally ~8.3.

Application of DL-Dithiothreitol CAS 3483-12-3
DL-Dithiothreitol is a small molecule organic reducing agent with a chemical formula of C4H10O2S2. It is mainly used in the field of biotechnology as a protein lysis reagent. At present, the most widely used Chemicalbook synthesis method for dithiothreitol uses threitol as a raw material, first oxidize with potassium permanganate, and then obtain a thio intermediate under the action of thioacetic acid, and finally hydrolyze the thio intermediate The body obtains dithiothreitol.
