General description

Boron trichloride is a boron halide. It participates in the hydroboration of alkenes.[1] It forms strongly polarized donor-acceptor complexes with trimethyl- and triethylsilyl triflate.[2] Boron trichloride assisted reaction between acid chlorides and alkynyltrifluoroborate salts have been reported to form ynones.[3]

Boron trichloride solution is used as a Lewis acid catalyst in the synthesis of BN-phenanthrenes. [4] [5]

Application

Boron trichloride may be used in the synthesis of Cl-BODIPYs (BODIPY - Boron-dipyrromethene)[6] and tris(dimethylamino)borane.[7] It may be used in the synthesis of sceptrins and nakamuric acid.[8]
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.

Sceptrins and nakamuric acid are structurally unique antibiotics isolated from marine sponges. Recent studies suggest that the biosynthesis of these dimeric pyrrole-imidazole alkaloids involves a single-electron transfer (SET)-promoted [2+2] cycloaddition to form their cyclobutane core skeletons.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
