Ytterbium(Iii) Chloride Hydrate, Reacton, 99.9% (Reo), Each

Details:

Ytterbium(iii) chloride hydrate is used as an effective catalyst to prepare acetals by reacting with trimethyl orthoformate. It reacts with n-alkylsalicylideneimines to prepare yttrium(iii) schiff base complexes. It is widely used as nmr shift reagent, calcium ion probe and in dna microarrays. Its anhydrous form acts as a lewis acid and catalyzes the alkylation reactions such as aldol reaction and pictet-spengler reaction.
