General description

Ruthenium(III) chloride is a chemical compound, that can be used as a mild Lewis acid catalyst for the acetalization of aldehydes, acetalization of alcohols, and conversion of ketoximes to amides. Additionally, it can also be used as a precursor to synthesize Ru nanoparticles.

Application

Ruthenium(III) chloride is used as a catalyst:

  • In the synthesis of β‐amino alcohols by nucleophilic opening of epoxides with anilines.
  • In the acetylation of varies of phenols, alcohols, thiols, and amines under mild conditions.
  • In the synthesis of α‐aminonitriles by mixing aldehydes, amines, and trimethylsilyl cyanides.
