TMAF–MeOH is a highly versatile nucleophilic fluorinating agent. Its primary challenge in commercial supply is residual moisture, which destroys fluoride activity. Our product is processed to ensure clean, reliable C–F bond formation.
🧪 The NorrChemica™ Gold Standard
- Moisture-Optimized Formula: Proprietary process supports maximum active fluoride performance, addressing inconsistent yields commonly associated with higher-moisture grades.
- qNMR-Verified Active Fluoride (mol% relative to Me4N+): Determined by combined quantitative 1H/19F NMR in CD3OD under fully relaxed conditions (90° pulse; d1 = 30 s for both nuclei), using 1,3,5-trifluorobenzene as a reference. Reported as F/Me4N+ (ratio; shown as mol% relative to Me4N+).
Why our active-fluoride assay is reliable
Many fluoride assay workflows use acquisition settings optimized for speed rather than quantification. Because quantitative NMR requires sufficient recycle delay (typically ≥5×T1), we acquire both 1H and 19F spectra under fully relaxed conditions (d1 = 30 s) and apply baseline-controlled integration. This prevents the large apparent assay swings that can occur when d1 is shortened or baseline drift is not handled rigorously. A downloadable qNMR report is provided with spectra, integrals, and the F/Me4N+ calculation.
Q: Why is d1 = 30 s used?
A: Quantitative NMR requires sufficient recycle delay to avoid saturation bias in integrals. Because ¹⁹F T1 values may be longer than typical routine settings, we use d1 = 30 s (90°) for both ¹H and ¹⁹F to support fully relaxed acquisition and reliable assay ratios.
Q: Why use 1,3,5-trifluorobenzene (TFB)?
A: TFB provides clean, non-overlapping signals in both ¹H and ¹⁹F spectra in CD₃OD, enabling a direct calculation of F/Me₄N⁺ from the same solution without external calibration.
