General description

Heptafluorobutyric anhydride (HFB) is a derivatizing reagent. It provides facile and sensitive way for detecting and elucidating structure of numerous alkyl-chain homologs.

Application

Learn more in the Product Information
GC derivatizing agent used to prepare volatile derivatives of amino acids and other biologically active compounds.
HFB was used as derivatizing agent in analysing platelet-activating factor using GC-MS.
Suitable for the derivatization of aldosterone, digoxin, digitoxin and metabolites, estradiol, postaglandins F1α and F2α, 3-oxo-Δ4-steroids, and testosterone.

Packaging

Derivatization reagent used in a GC-MS analysis of stereoisomer content of synthetic peptides.

Other Notes

Reagent for heptafluorobutyrate, 3-enol heptafluorobutyrate, 17-heptafluorobutyrate, heptafluorobutyrate and heptafluorobutyryl.

Several electrophoric derivatives of 1-aminopyrene and 2-aminofluorene were prepared. Reagents such as heptafluorobutyryl chloride, pentafluorobenzoyl chloride, pentafluorobenzyl bromide and pentafluorobenzaldehyde, alone and in certain combinations, were employed.

A convenient and sensitive method for the quantitative determination of poly(ethylene glycol) 400 in plasma and urine with capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry has been developed. The sample preparation involves solid-phase extraction with subsequent derivatization with heptafluorobutyric anhydride, which proved to

Methods for ultra trace detection of endocrine disruptive chemicals (EDCs) are needed because of their low levels of impact. Twenty-one EDCs were selected, including 17beta-estradiol, 17alpha-ethinylestradiol, 17beta-testosterone and bisphenol A. Derivatisation with eight different fluorine containing compounds was examined. All
