General description
Premium ACS Solvents: Our solvents meet or exceed the stringent standards set by the American Chemical Society, ensuring high quality and reliability for your laboratory applications.
Replicable and Publishable Results: Designed for consistency, our solvents deliver results that can be reliably reproduced, making them ideal for research that requires publication.
Versatile Applications: Suitable for routine chemical synthesis, drying, purification, and critical labware cleaning, our solvents cater to a wide range of research needs in the laboratory.
Application
- Enzyme-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization of ω-pentadecalactone to prepare polyesters.
- Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of acid chlorides with arylboronic acids to synthesize diaryl Ketones.
- Enantio- and diastereoselective nitro-Mannich reaction of α-aryl nitromethanes with amido sulfones to synthesize β-nitroamines.
- Diels-Alder reaction to synthesize spiro-fused dihydropyans. The hydrogen bond (CH-O) formed between chloroform and carbonyl oxygen makes the carbonyl group a stronger heterodienophile, resulting in an increased reaction rate.
