About Ferrous gluconate

Listed under CAS 299-29-6, Ferrous gluconate is an organometallic reagent available from Vaqora Chemicals in Synthesis grade with a typical assay of 97%. With the molecular formula C12H22FeO14, it has a molar mass of 446.14 g/mol. Systematically, it is named iron(2+). Bis((2R,3S,4R,5R)-2,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxyhexanoate). Common synonyms include D-Gluconic acid iron(II) salt dihydrate and Iron(II) Gluconate.

The material typically appears as greenish to yellow powder or crystals or chunks. Store sealed in a dry, well-ventilated location away from incompatible materials. Under GHS it is labelled “Warning”, so handle it with suitable PPE and consult the SDS.

It is commonly used for carbon–carbon bond formation, grignard and organometallic chemistry, organic synthesis and pharmaceutical synthesis. Buyers come mainly from academic and industrial research and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Standard pack sizes are 500 g, 5 kg and 25 kg, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
