An introduction to the effective use of real-time in situ FTIR for the monitoring and rapid characterization of synthetic organic chemical reactions Mid-infrared spectroscopic instrumentation and software for reaction analysis has developed significantly over the last 15 years becoming a commonly used tool in industry and academia for monitoring reaction progression, elucidating mechanism and pathway and for kinetics studies. This webinar series will bring you up-to-date with the contemporary tools for reaction analysis. Quantitative analysis for the real-time prediction of absolute concentration will also be addressed. This four part series will cover:

Part I will introduce the use of FTIR for reaction analysis and include a comparison to other well known spectroscopic techniques. The method of measurement and probe and sensor options available will be discussed as well as best practices on how to collect high quality data that will facilitate easy interpretation.
Part II focuses on how effective reaction analysis using real-time in situ FTIR is easily accomplished for most reactions using a few basic, but important software features. This webinar will highlight the best practices that result in high quality information extracted from a series of spectra collected as a function of time in situ and in real-time.
Some reaction analysis data sets present unique challenges to interpret due to a high level of complexity or spectral overlap. Part III focuses on techniques that can be applied to reduce complexity enabling the necessary critical information to be extracted. Other advanced data interpretation tools such as User Defined Trends including Fit Referee Data will also be addressed.
Relative concentration is sufficient for reaction progression information such as initiation, intermediate formation and endpoint. However, the ability to predict absolute concentration in real-time is sometimes desired or essential, especially during production monitoring, and for monitoring and controlling continuous processes. Part IV discusses the application of quantitative analysis using real-time in situ FTIR focusing on strategies that produce the best quantitative results for the desired outcome. Software tools for quantitative method evaluation will also be covered.
