Quality Control

Our Potassium (2-Methylphenyl)Trifluoroborate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR (1H, 11B, 19F) and HPLC analysis, to ensure high chemical purity and consistent performance in cross-coupling reactions. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles are available for every shipment upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be handled under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability and to prevent decomposition.
