General description

For technical and safety information about Diazald and Aldrich diazomethane generators see Technical Information Bulletin AL-180.

For the large-scale (200 to 300 mmol) generation of diazomethane. The dry ice condenser quantitatively condenses all the diazomethane/ether vapor during diazomethane generation from Diazald. Designed by M. Hudlicky [J. Org. Chem., 1980, 45, 5377]. The stopcock is closed at the start of distillation. As the distillate drips off the condenser, the stopcock is opened and the first portions fill the trap, allowing diazomethane/ether condensate to collect in the 500 mL Erlenmeyer flask, but prevents the escape of uncondensed vapors into the receiver. Glassware has Clear-Seal^® joints, which do not require grease and are safer because of their smooth surfaces (sharp edges and ground glass must be avoided in diazomethane generation). Thermometer not included.Call or visit our website for pricing on replacement parts.NOTE: Sigma-Aldrich is unable to supply certain Diazomethane precursors in some countries. Check availability of starting materials prior to glassware purchase.
