Application

4-Phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione (PTAD) can be used as an efficient and selective reagent for the oxidation of thiols to disulfides.[1]
It can also be used:       
  • As a dehydrogenating agent to synthesize annulated dihydropyridazines by inverse [4+2] cycloaddition reaction between cyclic alkenes and 1,2,4,5-tetrazines.[2]       
  • As a dienophile to synthesize cycloaddition products by fast hetero-Diels−Alder reactions.[3]       
  • As an efficient oxidizing agent for the synthesis of pyridine derivatives from 1,4-dihydropyridines.[4]
  • In the synthesis of urazoles via [3+2] cycloaddition with allylsilanes.[5]

The utility of Diels-Alder derivatization with 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione (PTAD) for liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry of conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs) was examined. PTAD rapidly reacted with the CLAs, and the resulting derivatives were highly responsive in electrospray ionization mass spectrometry

The reaction of 16 enols of amides with 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-1,3-dione gave open chain adducts rather than the [2 + 2] cycloadducts with a hemiaminal moiety, both in solid state and in solution. This assignment is based on X-ray crystallography, (1)H and

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  2. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
