Uses

Different sources of media describe the Uses of 18618-55-8 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Cerium(III) chloride heptahydrate can be used in the conversion of esters to allylsilanes.
2. 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.
3. 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.
