GOLD CHLORIDE TRIHYDRATE ACS REAGENT (C005B-021700)

Application

Gold Catalysts — 21st Century ′Gold Rush′

Gold(III) chloride trihydrate can be used as a gold precursor salt for the production of gold nanoparticles (AuNP) using various reducing agents.
It can also be used as a catalyst in the following processes:

• HAuCl₄ 3H₂O inPEG 400 is used to synthesize spirochromene derivatives via a one-pot three-component reaction of isatins/acenaphthoquinone, active methylene compounds, and cyclic 1,3-diketones/4-hydroxycoumarin.      
• Au/CeO₂ catalytic system is used in chemoselective oxidation of aromatic/aliphatic alcohols to corresponding carbonyl compounds.      
• Used in the synthesis of allylnaphthalenes by ring-opening of 1,4-epoxy-1,4-dihydronaphthalenes with allyltrimethylsilane.
