What is TBHP used for?

t-Butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) is used as the oxidant for nearly all titanium-catalyzed asymmetric epoxidations. Exceptions are for allyl alcohol and methallyl alcohol, where cumyl hydroperoxide is used to advantage for the epoxidation.

What is TBHP in chemistry?

The use of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as a terminal oxidant in the presence of catalytic amount of tetrabutylammonium iodide and imidazole enables a transition-metal-free synthesis of aryl esters in high yield starting from benzylic primary alcohols and aliphatic alcohols.

How long does TBHP last?

Vapor-phase TBHP will be degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals; the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 5 days.

Is TBHP flammable?

T-Hydro TBHP is highly combustible with a flash point of 38°C (100°F). The lower flammability limit of T-Hydro solution vapors in air is 5.75 vol\% TBHP at 80°C (176°F).

How do you dilute Tbhp?

Prepare a 50mM intermediate dilution of TBHP (Component E) by adding 3.22μL of the 70\% stock (7.78 M) to 496.8μL of PBS or complete media.

How do you quench tert-butyl hydroperoxide?

Tert-butyl hydroperoxide (685 μL, 5 mmol) was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature. The reaction was quenched by the addition of a saturated aqueous sodium metabisulfite solution after 17 hours. The mixture was diluted with 10 mL of water and poured into a 60 mL separatory funnel.

Is tert-butyl hydroperoxide toxic?

Moderately toxic by inhalation and ingestion and severely irritating to the eyes and skin. t-Butyl hydroperoxide has not been found to be carcinogenic or to show reproductive or developmental toxicity in humans. tert-Butyl hydroperoxide is a flammable liquid and a highly reactive oxidizing agent.

What is Ros assay?

The Total Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) Assay Kit 520 nm contains the necessary regent and buffer for identifying ROS in cells by flow cytometry in the FITC channel. Reactive oxygen species are chemically reactive oxygen-containing molecules that are generated as a natural byproduct of the oxygen metabolism.

Can you buy hydrogen peroxide?

Few products these days are as safe, cheap, and effective as three percent hydrogen peroxide. You can find it at the supermarket, in the pharmacy, or at most department discount stores that carry similar products.
