Collection: Boronate Esterification [GC Derivatization Reagents]
Boronate Esterification [GC Derivatization Reagents] — covers boronic acids used to form cyclic boronate esters through esterification with diol or hydroxyl groups on analytes. This derivatization reaction converts polar compounds into more volatile and thermally stable forms.
Reagents such as Phenylboronic Acid, Butylboronic Acid, Methylboronic Acid, and Ferroceneboronic Acid are used to derivatize diol groups in sugars, glycols, or catecholamines before analysis by GC or GC/MS. Laboratory analysts use this cyclic boronate esterification to improve volatility and separation resolution of compounds that are difficult to analyze in their original form.
Example products in this collection: TCI B0857 98-80-6 Phenylboronic Acid (contains varying amounts of Anhydride), TCI F0280 12152-94-2 Ferroceneboronic Acid (contains varying amounts of Anhydride) [Cyclic boronating reagent for GC/MS], TCI B0529 4426-47-5 Butylboronic Acid (contains varying amounts of Anhydride) [for Esterification], TCI M1553 13061-96-6 Methylboronic Acid (contains varying amounts of Anhydride).
Note that products generally contain some amount of their anhydrides, so purity and anhydride content should be checked, and the alkyl or aryl group should be chosen to suit the desired derivatization selectivity. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
