Mercury(II) acetate is used as a reagent to prepare organomercury compounds and to remove the acetamidomethyl protecting group in organic synthesis. It is also involved in the oxymercuration reactions as well as to prepare dithiocarbonates from thiocarboantes.It finds application as a catalyst in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals and absorption of ethylene.
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.
