Platinum(II) chloride is used as a catalyst for a variety of C-C bond, C-O bond, and C-N bond formation reactions. It acts as a precursor to prepare other platinum compounds such as cisplatin and dichloro(cycloocta-1,5-diene)platinum(II).
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
