Description

General description

Redi-Dri^™ technology eliminates clumping and the need for complicated procedures to keep your salts free-flowing. Keeping your salts dry helps improve your results by giving accurate measurements and easier-to-handle salts and buffers. Rather than drying your salts in an oven or desiccator or breaking them apart manually, Redi-Dri^™ ensures that your salts will remain easy-to-use for months without worrying about anti-caking agents. Even after repeated openings you can be assured that your results are always accurate. Redi-Dri^™ saves you time, energy and money by keeping your salts usable for longer!

Application

Lithium chloride can be used as a catalyst in the solvent-free:

• Cyanosilylation of aldehydes and ketones with cyanotrialkylsilanes to give silylated cyanohydrins.
• Microwave-assisted Claisen-Schmidt condensation to prepare α, β-unsaturated ketones.

It can also be used as:

• An additive in the Pd-catalyzed Stille coupling of aryl iodides with arylstannanes to synthesize corresponding biphenyls.
• A catalyst for the chemo- and regioselective demethylation of aryl methyl ethers to corresponding phenol products.

Features and Benefits

• Increased efficiency – Eliminate time and effort of loosening hardened powders
• Safety – Avoid risks of using tools of force to break up clumps
• Economy – Faster preparation and solvation increase productivity and reduce costs
• Assured quality – Excellent, expert-tested quality with no anti-caking agents
• Flexible volumes – Available from research amounts to scale-up quantities
