Ammonium Formate, 250 g, 98+% Assay, CAS Number 540-69-2, CH5NO2 Chemical Formula, 63.06 Molecular Weight, Crystalline, ca 116°C Melting Point, 1.28 g/cm3 Density, 6 to 7 pH Range, Used in Various Organic Reactions Like Leuckart Reaction
Ammonium formate is widely used in various organic reactions like Leuckart reaction which involves the reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones. It serves as a buffer in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS). It finds application in palladium on carbon (Pd/C) reduction of functional groups. For example, reduction of alkenes to alkanes and formaldehyde to methanol. It is also used to prepare formic acid insitu as well as used to store formic acid by making it as an ammonium salt.
