1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate is an ionic liquid used in the recycling of osmium in the dihydroxylation of olefins with osmium(VIII)¬ oxide. It is a stable liquid electrolyte used in the capillary electrophoretic method for resolving phenolic compounds present in grape seed extract. It also acts as a good solvent for a wide range of both organic and inorganic compounds.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
