| Application: | Ruthenium(III) chloride is used as a catalyst: • In the synthesis of β‐amino alcohols by nucleophilic opening of epoxides with anilines. • In the acetylation of varies of phenols, alcohols, thiols, and amines under mild conditions. • In the synthesis of α‐aminonitriles by mixing aldehydes, amines, and trimethylsilyl cyanides. |
| General description: | Ruthenium(III) chloride is a chemical compound, that can be used as a mild Lewis acid catalyst for the acetalization of aldehydes, acetalization of alcohols, and conversion of ketoximes to amides. Additionally, it can also be used as a precursor to synthesize Ru nanoparticles. |
