Silica gel

Manufactured by Biotage
Sourced in Sweden

Silica gel is a porous, granular material commonly used in laboratory equipment. It is an amorphous form of silicon dioxide that exhibits a high surface area and a high adsorption capacity. Silica gel's core function is to act as a desiccant, effectively removing moisture from its surrounding environment.

Compound purification was performed by column chromatography with Merck silica gel (40–63 µm) or flash chromatography (Biotage Isolera One, Uppsala, Sweden), as well as the adequate eluent for each compound. Reactions were monitored by thin layer chromatography (TLC), and compounds were detected under UV light (λ = 254 nm) and by using ethanolic solution of vanillin or ninhydrin. Melting points were determined using a Reichert Thermo Galen Kofler block and were uncorrected. 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectra were obtained in Bruker Avance 300 (300 MHz) and Bruker Avance 400 III HD (400 MHz) spectrometers. Samples were dissolved in CDCl3 or DMSO-d6, and TMS was used as internal standard for 1H NMR spectra. In 13C NMR spectra, central signals of solvent CDCl3 (77.0 ppm) and DMSO-d (39.5 ppm) were used as references. Chemical shifts (δ) are given in ppm, and coupling constants (J) are reported in Hz. Signal multiplicity is abbreviated as: singlet (s), doublet (d), triplet (t), pentuplet (p), and multiplet (m). IR spectra were recorded on a Perkin-Elmer Spectrum One B spectrometer. Low-resolution mass spectra were recorded on an Agilent HP 1100 LC/MS spectrometer, and high-resolution mass spectrometry (Exact Mass) was performed in an AGILENT 6520 Accurate-Mass QTOF LC/MS spectrometer. Elemental analysis was performed on elementary chemical analyzer (LECO CHNS-932).

Compound purification was performed by column chromatography with Merck Silica Gel (40–63 µm) or by flash chromatography (Biotage Isolera One equipment) and the adequate eluyent for each case. Reaction course was monitored by thin layer cromatography (t.l.c.), revealing with UV light (λ = 254 nm) and ethanolic solution of vanillin or ninhydrin. Melting points were determined using a Reichert Thermo Galen Kofler block and are uncorrected. Samples were dissolved in CDCl3 or DMSO-d6 using TMS as internal standard for 1H NMR spectra. In 13C NMR spectra, CDCl3 central signal (77.0 ppm) and DMSO-d (39.5 ppm) were used as references. 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectra were obtained in Bruker Avance 300 (300 MHz) and Bruker Avance 400 III HD (400 Hz) spectrometers. Chemical shifts (δ) are given in ppm. Coupling constants (J) are given in Hz. Signal multiplicity is abbreviated as: singlet (s), doublet (d), triplet (t), quartet (c), doublet of doublets (dd), triplet of doublets (td), or multiplet (m). IR spectra were recorded on a Perkin-Elmer Spectrum One B spectrometer. Units are cm−1. Low resolution mass spectra were recorded on an Agilent HP 1,100 LC/MS Spectrometer, whereas High Resolution mass spectrometry (Exact Mass) was performed in an AGILENT 6,520 Accurate-Mass QTOF LC/MS Spectrometer. Elemental analyses were performed in an Elementary Chemical Analyzer LECO CHNS-932.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
