Description

Ytterbium D-3-Trifluoroacetylcamphorate is a high-purity, organometallic complex of the rare earth element ytterbium, widely utilized as a chiral shift reagent in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Its primary value lies in its exceptional ability to resolve enantiomeric mixtures, providing critical analytical data for stereochemical determination in complex organic molecules. This reagent is essential for research and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries where chiral purity is paramount.

Application

• Chiral NMR Analysis: As a lanthanide shift reagent for determining enantiomeric purity and absolute configuration of organic compounds.
• Pharmaceutical R&D: Critical for stereochemical analysis during the development of chiral active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Asymmetric Synthesis Research: Used to monitor reaction progress and characterize products in catalytic and stoichiometric asymmetric transformations.
• Academic Research: A standard tool in university and institutional laboratories for structural elucidation in organic and organometallic chemistry.
• Quality Assurance/Control (QA/QC): Employed to verify the chiral identity and purity of intermediates and final products in regulated manufacturing.
• Method Development: For creating and validating analytical methods that require enantiomeric separation and identification.

Quality Control

Our Ytterbium D-3-Trifluoroacetylcamphorate is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high performance. Each lot is characterized and tested to confirm identity, purity, and chiral integrity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific test results is provided with every shipment, supporting compliance in research and regulated environments.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container should be kept tightly sealed in a desiccated environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect performance. Keep away from incompatible materials.
