Product Overview
Tri-n-butyl borate is a high-purity (98%) boron ester compound widely used in organic synthesis and boron-mediated reactions. This clear, colorless liquid offers excellent solubility in organic solvents, making it a preferred reagent for esterification, transesterification, and boron-based catalytic processes. Its stability under standard lab conditions ensures reliable performance in sensitive applications. The compound is particularly valued for its ability to act as a boron source in various chemical transformations, including the preparation of boron-containing polymers and pharmaceutical intermediates. With minimal moisture sensitivity, it maintains its integrity during prolonged storage when kept in tightly sealed containers. The 98% purity grade guarantees consistent results in analytical and preparative chemistry applications, reducing the need for additional purification steps. Its versatile nature makes it suitable for both small-scale laboratory experiments and larger-scale synthetic processes. The product is packaged in high-quality glass bottles to prevent contamination and ensure long-term stability.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of tri-n-butyl borate?
When stored in a cool, dry place in its original sealed container, tri-n-butyl borate maintains its stability for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Is this compound compatible with aqueous solutions?
Tri-n-butyl borate is hydrophobic and reacts with water, so it should be stored in moisture-free conditions and used in anhydrous organic solvents.
3. What safety precautions should be taken when handling this chemical?
Use standard lab safety measures including gloves, goggles, and proper ventilation, as it may cause skin and eye irritation upon direct contact.
4. Can this be used as a boron source in polymer synthesis?
Yes, its high purity and reactivity make it suitable for incorporating boron into polymer structures during synthesis.
5. What is the typical lead time for delivery in India?
Standard delivery takes 3-5 business days for metro cities and 5-7 business days for remote locations across India.
