General description

Sodium tetraborate decahydrate is a naturally occurring material used as a catalyst or additive for many organic transformations such as Nef reaction, Knoevenagel condensation, substitution, addition, selective methylation of vicinal diols, and desilylation of trimethylsilyl alkynones.

Application

Sodium tetraborate decahydrate can be used as a catalyst in the:
  • Regioselective thiolysis of 1,2-epoxides by using thiols to synthesize β-hydroxy sulfides.
  • Hetero-Michael addition of thiols with electron-deficient olefins to synthesize corresponding β-adducts.
  • Solvent-free Biginelli reaction to synthesize 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones.
It can also be used as an additive to prepare polypyrrole-borax composites with high dielectric properties.

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.
