RHODIUM(III) CHLORIDE HYDRATE

Product Usage : Rhodium(III) chloride hydrate is used as a catalyst for the direct conversion of methane to acetic acid. It is also used as catalyst for reduction, oxidation of alkenes, dyration of acetylenes and isomerization of alkenes. It is involved in the hydrosilylation of alfa,beta-unsaturated esters to form dimethylketene trimethylsilyl acetals. Rhodium(III) chloride hydrate is used as a catalyst for conjugate reduction of cinnamaldehydes followed by cross-coupling with arylboronic acids.
