| Application: | Aluminum chloride has been employed for the estimation of total contents of flavonoids in a freeze-dried extract isolated from Issopus officinalis. It has been employed for the synthesis of the following compounds: • 3′-methyl-5′,6′,7′,7a′- • trans-methyl 2-(cyclohex-1-enyl)cycloh • 1,1,3-trimethyl-1,4,5,6,7,7a-hexahydroisobenzofuran • 1-((2R*,4aS*,8aR*)-2-methyldecahydronaphthalen-4ayl)ethanone |
| Application: | Aluminum chloride may be used as catalyst for the Friedel-Crafts polymerizations of 4-(trifluoromethoxy)benzy It may be used to catalyze: • Degradation of polystyrene to benzene. • Carbonization of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. • Colorimetric microassay of hydroperoxides. |
| Features and Benefits: | The vapor-phase co-reductions with other metal halides by hydrogen results in finely divided intermetallics with applications as structural materials or compounds with useful thermoelectric, magnetic, and oxidation-resistance properties. Aluminum nitride can be synthesized from the elemnts with AlCl3 added to help facilitate crystallization. |
| General description: | Aluminum chloride participates in the amination of exo-2-chloronorbornane to afford 2-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane |
