PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
Description
Cesium carbonate is a mild inorganic base widely used inelectroluminescent devices and organic synthesis. It’s the raw material of various special optical glass and oil catalytic promoters. It is a powerful inorganic base widely used in organic synthesis. It is a potential chemoselective catalyst for the reduction of aldehydes and ketones to alcohol.
