Sodium tetrachloroaurate (III) dihydrate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Orange/Yellow Crystalline Powder

Uses

Photography, staining fine glass, decorating porcelain, medicine. Sodium Tetrachloroaurate(III) Dihydrate, is an essential chemical compound used in chemical synthesis as gold catalyst.

Uses

It is used in chemo-therapeutics. It is employed as a catalyst in the removal of tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl (TBS) protecting groups. It is selective in the presence of aromatic TBS ethers, aliphatic triisopropylsilyl ethers, aliphatic tert-butyl(diphenyl)silyl ethers, or sterically hindered aliphatic TBS ethers. With excess catalyst, TBS ethers can also be transformed into 4-methoxybenzyl ethers or methyl ethers in one pot.
