3,4-Diaminobenzoic acid undergoes cyclocondensations to form, for example, quinoxalines1 and benzimidazoles. It acts as a redox label for electrochemical detection of single base mismatches.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
