Boron Trifluoride Methanol Complex

Boron Trifluoride Methanol Complex
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Used in the deactylation of acetanilides.It is also used to study the synthesis
of amino group containing cyanine dyes of different types and to prepare fatty
acid methyl esters. Boron trifluoride-methanol (BF-M) is an esterification
reagent. BF-M is a powerful acidic catalyst for the esterification of the fatty
acids. It easily cleaves acetylated dyes resulting in free amino groups. BF-M
catalyzed trans esterification of vegetable oils forms biodiesel
