Acetic anhydride

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States, Belgium, Poland, Germany, United Kingdom

Acetic anhydride is a chemical compound used in various laboratory applications. It serves as a reagent for the acetylation of organic compounds, a process that introduces an acetyl group (-COCH3) into a molecule. This can be used for the modification of organic structures and the preparation of various derivatives. Acetic anhydride is a clear, colorless liquid with a pungent odor.

Zirconium(IV) propoxide (Zr(OnPr)4, 70 % in 1‐propanol) was treated before use for 15 h under primary vacuum at 120 °C to remove 1‐propanol and obtain pure Zr(OnPr)4 (ZNP). Complete removal of 1‐propanol was checked by FTIR spectrometry, by the absence of the OH stretching band from the alcohol (Figure S1). The water content of all oxygen donors was measured by Karl Fischer titration and, if necessary, they were dried over molecular sieves to ensure adequate drying (<10 ppm H2O for Ac2O, DIPE; <20 ppm for ACE, MPK, AcPh; <50 ppm H2O for EtOH, BnOH). Toluene (Sigma‐Aldrich, 99.7 %) and dichloromethane (Sigma–Aldrich, 99.8 %) were dried over a PureSolve MD5 solvent purification system (H2O <10 ppm, controlled with by Karl Fischer titration).

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.
