Cas no 540-69-2 (Ammonium formate)

Ammonium formate (NH?HCO?) is a white crystalline salt with a molecular weight of 63.06 g/mol, soluble in water and alcohol. It is widely used as a buffering agent, reducing agent, and catalyst in organic synthesis, particularly in reductive amination and hydrogenation reactions. Its high purity and stability make it suitable for analytical applications, including LC-MS mobile phase preparation, where it acts as a volatile buffer. Ammonium formate decomposes cleanly under heating, leaving minimal residue, which is advantageous in catalytic processes. Additionally, it serves as a nitrogen source in agricultural applications. Its dual functionality as both a formate and ammonium donor enhances its utility in chemical and biochemical research.
