Product Information

• Name: Hydroxocobalamin chloride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Hydroxocobalamin chloride is a molecule that contains hydrochloric acid. It is used as a sample preparation reagent in the analysis of fatty acids, and as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of magnesium salt. Hydroxocobalamin chloride reacts with an organic acid to form an ester or amide. The reaction mechanism for this process involves a nucleophilic attack by the hydroxyl group on the carbonyl carbon atom of the organic acid, followed by displacement of HCl from water. In analytical chemistry, Hydroxocobalamin chloride is used to determine the concentration of dehydroascorbic acid in a sample, which can be indicative of skin condition or dietary supplement intake. This compound also serves as an analytical method for measuring fatty acids and their derivatives (e.g., methyl esters). Symptoms associated with exposure to this compound include skin conditions such as dermatitis and eczema, together with symptoms such as fatigue and irritability that are related to high levels
