Details

Specifications Boron trifluoride (BF3) is a Lewis acid; it is a very useful reagent for forming esters from acids. Boron trifluoride is commercially available as a 14% solution in methanol for forming esters derivatives. It catalysed reactions carried out in a water bath are very rapid and can be completed in a few minutes. Boron-trifluoride-catalysed transesterification of vegetable oils is one of the most popular methods. For transesterification of vegetable oils, BF3 is used in methanol (15 to 20% w/v).Molecular Formula: CH4BF3OMolecular Weight: 99.85Linear Structural Formula: BF3 · MeOHMDL Number: MFCD00071635Density: 0.86 g/mL at 20 CStorage: 2-8CApplication: Suitable for derivatization of hydroxy fatty acids.Legal Information: LiChropur is a trademark of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, GermanyOther Notes: Reagent for methyl ester, O-acetyl.Signal Word: DangerHazard statements: H225-H302-H314-H332-H372Precautionary statements: P210-P280-P305 P351 P338-P310Hazard Codes (Europe) : F,TRisk Statements (Europe): 11-20/22-34-48/23Safety Statements (Europe): 23-26-36/37/39-45WGK Germany: 3
