General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry. The iron catalysts are known to be inexpensive and environmentally benign. Click here for more information.

Application

Iron(III)chloride hexahydrate can be used as a catalyst for the:
  • Esterification of fatty acids and alcohols to synthesize fatty acid esters.
  • Regioselective arylations of α-amido sulfones with electron-rich arenes to synthesize unsymmetrical or bis-symmetrical triarylmethanes via Friedel-Crafts alkylation.
  • Synthesis of acyl azide derivatives by the acylation of sodium azide with N-acylbenzotriazoles.

Myocardial fibrosis, resulting from ischemic injury, increases tissue resistivity in the infarct area, which impedes heart synchronous electrical propagation. The uneven conduction between myocardium and fibrotic tissue leads to dys-synchronous contraction, which progresses towards ventricular dysfunction. We synthesized a conductive

Questions

1–3 of 3 Questions  

  1. 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.

  2. 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

  3. How can I calculate the percentage of a specific element in a compound, like the elemental iron in 236489 BCCF3238?

    1 answer

    1. The elemental iron in this product can be determined by dividing the molecular weight of iron by the molecular weight of the material, assuming 100% purity. For lot BCCF3238 with a purity of 99.0%, the calculation, taking purity into account, would be: 55.845 g/mol / (270.30 g/mol / 0.99) = ~20.45%. This translates to approximately 204.5 mg of Fe(III) per gram of ferric chloride hexahydrate.
