General description

Cesium carbonate is a powerful inorganic base widely used in organic synthesis. It is a potential chemoselective catalyst for the reduction of aldehydes and ketones to alcohols.[1] It is employed as base for the Heck coupling reaction of 4-trifluoromethyl-1-chlorobenzene[2] and aryl chlorides.

Application

Promotes the efficient O-alkylation of alcohols to form mixed alkyl carbonates.
Cesium carbonate can be used as a base in C-C and C-N cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki−Miyaura, Heck, and Buchwald-Hartwig amination reactions. It is also used as a base in alkylation reactions.

Questions

1–6 of 6 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

  5. Product 441902, Cesium Carbonate, is very hygroscopic, how should it be handled in order to preserve the compound?

    1 answer
    1. When we package this product, it is packaged and sealed under a total nitrogen atmosphere to avoid any absorption of water from the atmosphere.  It would be optimal to do the same.  If you do not have a glove box or glove bag we do offer Aldrich Atmosbags that can used to help provide an inert atmosphere for compounds such as Cesium Carbonate. One could also flush the head space of the bottle before sealing it to help prevent the material from absorbing moisture during storage.
