Methyltriphenylphosphonium chloride is used as a phase transfer catalyst in synthetic chemistry. It acts as a catalyst for regio-controlled ring-opening polymerization of substituted epoxides. It is utilized for controlling the corrosion iron. It acts as a reactant for intramolecular nitrone cycloaddition. In addition to this, it is used for neoplasm inhibition through antimitochondrial effect.
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.
