What is CERIUM(III) CHLORIDE HEPTAHYDRATE?

Chemical properties

colourless crystalline solid

The Uses of CERIUM(III) CHLORIDE HEPTAHYDRATE

Cerium(III) chloride heptahydrate can be used in the conversion of esters to allylsilanes.

The Uses of CERIUM(III) CHLORIDE HEPTAHYDRATE

Cerium(III) chloride heptahydrate is used in the preparation of allylsilanes from esters. It is used as a reducing agent in organic synthesis in place of sodium borohydride. In Luche reaction, carvone gives selectively allylic alcohol.

The Uses of CERIUM(III) CHLORIDE HEPTAHYDRATE

Catalyst employed in a solvent-free microwave-assisted synthesis of 2-quinolones via condensation of ?-ketoesters with o-anilinoketones. Coupled with NaI promotes the Beckmann rearrangement of oximes.

General Description

Cerium(III) chloride heptahydrate is a mild Lewis acid. It participates in the allylation of aldehydes. Cerium(III) chloride heptahydrate in combination with sodium iodide supported on silica gel efficiently promotes Michael-type addition. Cerium(III) chloride heptahydrate in the presence of sodium iodide acts as an efficient catalyst for the Michael addition of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to α,β-unsaturated ketones and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes.
