General description
Application
- As a reducing agent for the reduction of sulfoxides, sulfonyl chlorides, N-oxides, and azides. It can also be used in azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction in the presence of a copper catalyst.
- To reduce disulfide bonds in various proteins.
- As a reagent for the selective reduction of disulfides in water.
- To remove ruthenium-derived metathesis catalysts via aqueous washing of a crude reaction mixture when it is basified.
- As a reducing agent for the reduction of various alkyl disulfides such as trans-4,5-dihydroxy-1,2-dithiane.

What is the primary function of Product C4706, Tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride?
Tris (2-carboxyethyl) phosphine hydrochloride (TCEP, #C4706) is capable of selectively cleaving disulfide bonds.
What is Product C4706, Tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride, soluble in?
TCEP is soluble in water at 50 mg/ml and is also stable under both acidic and basic pH conditions. For work in protein analysis and mass spectrometry, we also offer an already prepared version of TCEP in a buffered aqueous solution. Product# 646547 is 0.5M solution of TCEP in water, where the pH has been adjusted to 7 with ammonium hydroxide.
What is the benefit of Product C4706, Tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride (TCEP), over traditional disulfide reduction agents, like DTT (dithiothreitol) and BME (beta-mercaptoethanol)?
TCEP is a very effective disulfide reducing agent that is less toxic than beta-mercaptoethanol and more stable to solution oxidation and pH changes than dithiothreitol.
Where can I find protocols that cite the use of Product C4706, Tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride (TCEP)?
