Dehydrating Reagents [Synthetic Reagents] — compiles dehydrating reagents such as aryl fluorinated sulfurans, phosphorus pentoxide, sodium dispersions, and Burgess reagent that draw out water molecules or hydroxyl groups from a substrate during organic reactions. These reagents promote condensation, cyclization, or elimination reactions that are thermodynamically difficult to proceed without a water-scavenging aid.
These dehydrating reagents are used by synthetic chemists to convert alcohols into alkenes, amides into nitriles, or carboxylic acids into anhydrides and other cyclic derivatives. Phosphorus pentoxide and its mixture with methanesulfonic acid are often chosen for intramolecular Friedel-Crafts cyclization, while Burgess reagent and Martin sulfurane are used in eliminations that require milder and more selective conditions.
Example products in this collection: TCI B2200 32133-82-7 Bis[alpha,alpha-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzenemethanolato]diphenylsulfur, TCI D5792 7440-23-5 SD Super Fine(TM) (Sodium 25wt% dispersion in mineral oil), TCI P1746 1314-56-3 Phosphorus(V) Oxide, TCI M1279 29684-56-8 (Methoxycarbonylsulfamoyl)triethylammonium Hydroxide Inner Salt, TCI P1042 39394-84-8 Phosphorus Pentoxide - Methanesulfonic Acid.
Selection of reagents depends on the type of transformation desired, the strength and selectivity of water removal, and the physical form—solid, dispersion in mineral oil, or solution—which affects handling and mixing in the reaction. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
