Application

  • Boron trichloride, a Lewis acid, is a general reagent for the cleavage of a wide range of ether and acetal protecting groups.
  • It is a useful reagent to directly convert aromatic aldehydes to the corresponding gem-dichlorides.
  • It can also be used in the transmetallation reaction with less nucleophilic reagents such as tin and zirconium organometallic compounds to synthesize a variety of organoboranes.

For preparing methyl esters of fatty acids and for transesterification of triglycerides.

Packaging

The 25 mL Sure/Seal bottle is recommended as a single-use bottle. Repeated punctures will likely result in decreased performance of product.
