Description

Application
It acts as a reducing agent in organic synthesis notably in PdC-catalyzed hydrogenolysis of alkenes nitro groups to amines and functional group reductions. Common uses include buffers in chromatography Leuckart reductive amination of carbonyls and precursor to formamide via heating.

Purpose
Its primary purpose leverages thermal decomposition to generate in situ hydrogen (via HCONH H CO NH) providing a safe alternative to gaseous H in reductions alongside roles in pH adjustment and pharmaceutical intermediates.

General Description
Ammonium formate PurChrom Ultra is a high-purity volatile buffer salt tailored for UHPLC-MS applications. It dissolves easily in water and organic solvents offering excellent pH control and low background noise. Its volatility ensures seamless compatibility with mass spectrometry detection systems.
