| Application: | Magnesium perchlorate (Mg(ClO4)2) may be employed as a catalyst in the following studies: • Preparation of α-aminophosphonates. • Enantioselective Diels-Alder reaction between cyclopentadiene and 3-acryloyl-1,3-oxazolin-2 • Preparation of imines and phenylhydrazones. • Protection of alcohols in the form of t-butyl ethers. |
| Application: | Magnesium perchlorate may be used as a catalyst in the synthesis of the following compounds: • α-Aminophosphonates via three-component reaction between an amine, an aldehyde or a ketone and a di-/trialkyl phosphite. • Imines and phenylhydrazones by the condensation of carbonyl compounds with amines and phenylhydrazine. • Knoevenagel adducts via Knoevenagel condensation between β-diketones and aliphatic or aromatic aldehydes. It may also be used to catalyze the protection of alcohols as t-butyl ethers. |
| General description: | Magnesium perchlorate (Mg(ClO4)2) is widely used as drying agent for gases. It can remove water from gases (with no organic contaminants) at the rate of 0.001mgwater/l. |
