General description

EMPARTA solvents are designed for routine chemical synthesis, drying, purification, and critical labware cleaning in quality control environments. Engineered for precision, they deliver consistently reproducible results essential for rigorous validation and documentation.

Exceptional Quality Standards: These solvents meet or exceed ACS specifications, providing assurance of high quality that is crucial for accurate testing and analysis in quality control.

Consistent Reproducibility: Designed for precision, the solvents ensure that results can be reliably reproduced, which is vital for maintaining compliance and integrity in quality control processes.

Versatile Applications: Suitable for a variety of QC tasks, including analytical testing, method validation, and testing USP/NF monographs, these solvents support a comprehensive approach to quality assurance in laboratory settings.

Application

Triethylamine can be used as:
  • An initiator for cracking heptane to yield ethylene and propylene.
  • A catalyst to synthesize polysubstituted dihydrothiophenes via Domino ring-opening/recyclization reactions.
  • A base in the Swern oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds.
  • A solvent in the direct one-pot reductive imination of nitroarenes with aldehydes to synthesize imines.
