General description

EMPLURA® is our low-cost alternative to high-purity qualities. With EMPLURA we offer a range of solvents for a plurality of basic applications in non-regulated industries and for less demanding applications, preparative laboratory work and cleaning purposes. EMPLURA solvents provide adequate specifications with the most important parameters.

Application


  • Asymmetric Catalysis by Architectural and Functional Molecular Engineering: Practical Chemo- and Stereoselective Hydrogenation of Ketones.: The study showcases the role of 2-propanol in asymmetric catalysis, providing an efficient method for the stereoselective hydrogenation of ketones, which is vital in pharmaceutical synthesis (Noyori and Ohkuma, 2001).

  • Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry of synthetic oligonucleotides using 2-propanol and spermidine.: This research examines the use of 2-propanol in electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, enhancing the detection and analysis of synthetic oligonucleotides (De Bellis et al., 2000).

  • Isolation, identification, and chemical synthesis of 8 alpha,25-dihydroxy-9,10-seco-4,6,10(19)-cholestatrien-3-one. A new metabolite of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 produced by mouse myeloid leukemia cells (M1).: This study details the use of 2-propanol in the chemical synthesis of a new vitamin D3 metabolite, which is significant for understanding vitamin D metabolism in leukemia cells (Yamada et al., 1987).
