MOLYBDENUM(VI) DICHLORIDE DIOXIDE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Description

Molybdenum is much less toxic than typical heavy metals and already found application as an alternative substitute for some heavy metals. Molybdenum has also found application in materials like pigments, corrosion inhibitors, smoke suppressants, lubricants and fertilizers. Molybdenum dichloride dioxide has strong application as a kind of catalyst in organic transformation. Molybdenum Dichloride Dioxide can be used to catalyze carbamate formation from an alcohol and isocyanates, acylation reactions, thioglycosylation of functionalized peracetylated glycosides, hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ketones as well as reduction of many compounds like imines, esters, amides and N-oxides. It is also used to catalyze the oxidation of sulfides, thiols as well as the synthesis of beta-keto esters and thiocaetalization of aldehydes. It can also be used to analyze the antioxidant in solder plating solutions.
