Handling, Storage, and Precautions
: TIPS
‐
NSO may be slightly volatile. For this reason, when removing solvent on a rotary evaporator, the bath temperature should be set to 30 °C or lower. For long‐term storage, it is kept at −20 °C in a freezer under an inert atmosphere. Hydrolysis of TIPS‐NSO can potentially result in the evolution of toxic SO
