Molecular Formula: CH5NO2
Formula Weight: 63.06
Description:
Ammonium formate, NH 4 HCO 2, is the ammonium salt of formic acid. It is colorless, crystalline solid hygroscopic.
Pure ammonium formate decomposes into formamide and water when heated, which is its main use in industry. Formic acid can also be obtained by reaction of ammonium formate with a dilute acid, and also because the formic acid formate of formic acid is prepared, it can serve as a formic form of formic acid storage.
Ammonium formate can also be used in the reduction of carbon (Pd / C) of the functional groups used in werden.Moniumformiat can be used for the reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones (Leuckart reaction). It can be used as a buffer in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and is suitable for use with liquid chromatography / mass spectroscopy (LC / MS).
