Synthesis and Characterization of NGT

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HPLC-grade solvents, ascorbic acid, potassium hydroxide (KOH) and butylated hydroxytoluene were obtained from Fisher (Fair Lawn, NJ, USA). dl-Tocol (internal standard, purity >95%) was purchased from Matreya LLC (Pleasant Gap, PA, USA) and α-tocopheryl acetate was purchased from Sigma (St. Louis, MO, USA). NGT is not available commercially and was synthesized from γ-T as described [7 (link)]. Briefly, an ethanolic solution of γ-T was acidified with glacial acetic acid and nitration was subsequently induced by sodium nitrite. After terminating the reaction with KOH, and washing the mixture with water, the crude product was extracted using hexane, dried under nitrogen gas and reconstituted in ethanol. Purity of NGT was >99% as determined by LC-MS and its concentration was determined spectrophotometrically (Shimadzu UV-2600, Columbia, MD, USA) in ethanol using ε410 nm = 1976 M−1cm−1 [12 (link)].

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.
