Product Information
Name:Tetrabutylgermane
Brand:Biosynth
Description:Tetrabutylgermane (TBG) is an organometallic compound that is used as a reagent in organic synthesis. It has been proposed as a hydrogenation catalyst in the production of biodiesel. TBG has been shown to react with hydrogen chloride to form butylchloroformate, which can be reacted with alcohols to produce esters.
TBG is not known to have any health effects. The reaction rate of TBG is dependent on the activation energy and the heat energy provided by the reaction, which is determined by the thermodynamic data. This compound has a low boiling point and high vapor pressure, so it may be hazardous when heated or exposed to open flame. TBG does not dissolve in water, but dissolves in polar solvents such as ethanol or acetone.
TBG absorbs x-rays at approximately 1.5 keV and 13C-NMR spectroscopy shows that it contains carbon atoms, hydrogen atoms
