Applications
It is applied in the abstraction of the ɑ-H atom of alcohols and their O-substituted derivatives results in oxidation to the ketones and in the oxidation of TMS ethers to ketones, secondary alcohols to ketones, and secondary diols to ɑ-hydroxy ketones. It is applied as a reactant involved in the synthesis of substituted dihydroazulene photo switches, carbene-based Lewis pairs for hydrogen activation, 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition reactions for preparation of α-amino-β-hydroxy esters, oxidation of allenic compounds, Mukaiyama aldol addition reactions and ionic hydrogenation as a counteranion and ligand source.

Solubility
Insoluble in water. Soluble in methanol.

Notes
Moisture sensitive. Store away from bases, water/moisture, heat and oxidizing agents. Keep the container tightly closed and place it in a cool, dry and well ventilated condition. Store under inert gas. Keep it refrigerated.
