Description
Ammonium hexafluorotitanate is used as an anti-corrosive cleaning agent. It is also used for the production of ceramics and glass. Further, it is used in the preparation of synthetic gems.
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.
Suitable for battery materials development.
Applications
Oxalyl chloride is mainly used as a catalyst in the oxidation of alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes and ketones. It is actively used for the synthesis of acid chlorides from acids. In the Fridel-Crafts acylation reaction, it reacts with aromatic compounds to get the corresponding acyl choride using aluminum chloride as catalyst. Further, it is utilized to prepare dioxane tetrketone, an oxide of carbon.
Solubility
Oxalyl chloride Slightly miscible with water.Miscible with ether, benzene and chloroform.
Notes
Moisture sensitive. Incompatible with bases, alcohols, water, amines and metals.
