INDIUM(III) BROMIDE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Off-white to greenish powder

Uses

"Indium(III) bromide is used in organic synthesis as a water tolerant Lewis acid.It efficiently catalyzes the three-component coupling of β-keto esters, aldehydes and urea (or thiourea) to afford the corresponding dihydropyrimidinones. It is used as a catalyst to produce dithioacetals when unactivated alkynes react with thiols and fields such as optics and microelectronics that utilize semiconductor technology have wide uses for indium in high-performing solar cells."

Uses

Regio-, chemo-, and stereoselective Lewis acid catalyst in organic synthesis.
