Iron(III) triflate is used as an efficient catalyst in the synthesis of 2,3-unsaturated-O-glycosides from 2,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal. It is also involved in the synthesis of a variety of beta-enamino ketones and esters.
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.
