Have your local Chemical supplier order it via Sigma-Aldrich. Usually, I suggest that folks make such exotic items. That looks to be fairly challenging for this material. I don't know what you want it for, but it is about as commonplace as a herd of pink on yellow, polka-dotted elephants. Expensive too.

Do you forsee any problems if I attempted to import it from an oversees chemical supplier?

Not really. Not used in any drug syntheses that I know of, not very harmful. Expensive, so you'd have to pay more for more protective shipping (possibly).

considering all these properties it's pretty pathetic that I have to jump through hoops to get this. canadian and american currency is pretty much at par yet it's around $20 more for 100ml on sigma's canadian website and that's without knowing if they'll ship it to me as an individual. damn drug clowns have ruined it for everyone.

If you manage to get some, I would be interested in a small amount as a lab curiosity. I'm in Canada too.

Sigma do not sell to individual, nor most Canada company, you will have to get it from oversea.




I never asked for this.

Well historically, the Canuck buck has been worth about 80% of the American buck. Once in the distant past, I met a devious Canadian, criminal dope dealer, who was using this differential to rip-off... honest, god-fearing American dope dealers. Come the deal, his cash would include a considerable percentage of Canadian 100s, along with a portion of bogus U.S. 100s. Needless to say, this mad folks mad, real mad.

Aldrich wants more, because Canadian money is usually worth less.
