| Application: | Lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) may be used as a catalyst in the synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes. |
| Application: | Lithium perchlorate may be used to catalyze: • The acylation of hindered alcohols and phenols under solvent-free conditions. • 1,4-Conjugate addition of O-silylated ketene acetals to hindered αβ,-unsaturated carbonyl system. • The protection of amine groups as N-Boc derivatives via tert-butoxycarbonylation. • Synthesis of α-aminophosphonates under solvent free conditions. |
| Application: | When used as a co-catalyst, accelerates the Baylis-Hillman reaction, the coupling of α,β-unsaturated carbonyls with aldehydes. |
| General description: | Lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) is a colorless lithium salt. On the crystallization from its aqueous solution, it affords lithium perchlorate trihydrate (LiClO4.3H2O). It can be synthesized by reacting lithium chloride with perchloric acid. |
