Derivatization Reagents for Acylation
Sigma-Aldrich SupelcoSupelco provides high quality derivatization reagents for acylation.Acylation, an alternative to silylation, allows the conversion of compounds with active hydrogen such as -OH, -SH, and -NH into esters, thioesters and amines, respectively. A very popular example of this method is the insertion of perfluoracyl groups to enable electron capture detection (ECD). Carbonyl groups adjacent to halogenated carbons enhance the ECD res…
