Zirconium(IV) chloride, 98%, cont. 1-2% hafnium(IV) chloride, Thermo Scientific Chemicals
Description
Zirconium(IV) chloride catalyzes the trans-hydrostannylation of acetylenes with Tri-n-butyltin hydride. It is used as a superior catalyst for the fries rearrangement of aryl acetates, giving the least hindered ortho-acetyl phenol in high yields at ambient temperatures. In the presence of ZrCl4, chloromethyl ethers are formed under mild conditions from acid chlorides and trioxane or paraformaldehyde.
