Product Overview
Tributyl borate, 98% pure, is a high-grade chemical reagent designed for precision in laboratory applications. Packaged in AcroSeal® containers, it ensures minimal exposure to moisture and contaminants, preserving its integrity for extended periods. This borate ester is particularly valued for its role in organic synthesis, where it acts as a mild Lewis acid catalyst, facilitating selective transformations without aggressive side reactions. Its liquid form allows for easy handling and accurate dispensing, making it a preferred choice for researchers requiring consistent and reproducible results. The 98% purity level minimizes impurities that could interfere with sensitive reactions, while the AcroSeal® packaging provides an additional layer of protection against degradation. Whether used in small-scale experiments or larger batch processes, this reagent maintains stability under standard lab conditions, reducing the risk of variability in experimental outcomes. Its compatibility with a wide range of solvents further enhances its versatility in diverse chemical protocols.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of tributyl borate in AcroSeal® packaging?
The AcroSeal® packaging extends the shelf life to approximately 24 months when stored unopened in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
2. Is this tributyl borate compatible with aqueous solutions?
It is hydrophobic and reacts with water, so it should be used in anhydrous or organic solvent-based systems for optimal stability.
3. Can this be used as a substitute for boron trifluoride in certain reactions?
While it shares some Lewis acid properties, its reactivity differs; consult reaction-specific literature for direct substitution guidance.
4. What precautions should be taken during storage?
Store in a tightly sealed container under inert gas if possible, away from oxidizing agents and moisture to prevent decomposition.
5. Does this product require special disposal methods?
Follow standard laboratory protocols for borate ester disposal; neutralize with alkaline solutions before disposal if required by local regulations.
