Collection: Acylation [GC Derivatization Reagents]

Acylation [GC Derivatization Reagents] — includes acylation reagents based on trifluoroacetyl and pentafluoro groups that convert hydroxyl, amine, or thiol groups into more volatile derivatives. This category is part of the derivatization reagents for gas chromatography (GC) analysis.

Reagents such as bistrifluoroacetamide, N-acetylimidazole, and trifluoroacetic anhydride are used by laboratory analysts to derivatize samples before GC injection, especially for polar compounds that are difficult to volatilize. Pentafluoro derivatives such as pentafluorobenzoyl chloride are also used to improve detection sensitivity with an electron capture detector (ECD).

Example products in this collection: TCI B0986 407-24-9 Bistrifluoroacetamide, TCI H0337 336-59-4 Heptafluorobutyric Anhydride, TCI A0694 2466-76-4 N-Acetylimidazole, TCI H0467 32477-35-3 1-(Heptafluorobutyryl)imidazole [Acylating Agent], TCI T0670 1546-79-8 1-(Trifluoroacetyl)imidazole, TCI M0671 685-27-8 N-Methylbis(trifluoroacetamide) [Trifluoroacylating Agent], TCI T0433 407-25-0 Trifluoroacetic Anhydride, TCI P0566 356-42-3 Pentafluoropropionic Anhydride.

Choose reagents based on the target functional group (hydroxyl, amine, or thiol) and their compatibility with the GC column and detector, and pay attention to airtight packaging that preserves reagent reactivity. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
