Ruthenium(III) chloride hydrate, 99.9% (PGM basis), Ru 38% min

Oxidation.Ruthenium(III) chloride hydrate is used as a catalyst for alkyne functionalization and oxidation reactions. It is used as key raw materials for the preparation of various ruthenium-based catalysts, including Grubbs’ catalysts. It is utilized in the preparation of nanoparticulate ruthenium-aluminum oxyhydroxide catalyst, which is efficient for dehydrogenation of alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes. It is also involved in the synthesis of 2-ethyl-3-methylquinolines from primary aromatic amines and triallylamine.
