Rhodium(II) acetate, dimer, Premion™, 99.99% (metals basis), Rh 46.2% min, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

For Use in Cyclopropanation of Alkenes

Catalyst for cyclopropanation of alkenes, oxidation of alcohols, cyclization reactions involving -diazo carbonyl groups, insertion into C-H and X-H bonds (X-H is NH or SH or OH) and for ylide formation. More reactive and useful in differentiating ribonucleosides and deoxynucleosides. It is also used in functionalizing fullerenes into polymers. Efficient catalyst for hydrogen transfer from 2-propanol to cyclohexanone and other unsaturated compounds.
