| Application: | Iron(III) chloride may be used for the polymerization of pyrrole and for the preparation of the phenanthrene ring. It is widely employed for the following reactions: • polymerizations • oxidations • oxidative couplings • reductions • C−C bond formation • Ferrier rearrangement • one-pot multicomponent condensations • Friedel-Crafts reactions • cyclization′s • glycosidation • Prins-type cyclisation |
| General description: | Iron(III) chloride is a mild oxidizing agent. It is widely employed as a Lewis acid in organic synthesis. On crystallization with water, it forms hydrates. It can be prepared by passing chlorine over scrap iron at approximately 650°C. |
