Derivarisation of fatty acids for HPLC: how long can I store the catalyst-chromophore reagent?

03 August 2016 1 9K Report

Does anyone know how long the catalyst-chromophore reagent 4-bromophenacyl bromide can be stored in an acetonitrile solution with 18-crown-6? Does the solution have to be used the same day, or within the week?

Sally Burr

Thanks. I'll take that into account when I decide how much to make.
