General description

Cesium carbonate is a powerful inorganic base widely used in organic synthesis. It is a potential chemoselective catalyst for the reduction of aldehydes and ketones to alcohols. It is employed as base for the Heck coupling reaction of 4-trifluoromethyl-1-chlorobenzene and aryl chlorides.

Application

Cesium carbonate is an attractive base that finds more and more applications in coupling chemistry.

Cesium carbonate has been employed as catalyst for:

• Aerobic oxidation of primary alcohols.

• 1,4-addition.

Cesium carbonate has been used as reagent for the following studies:

• Synthesis of phosphazene derivatives.

• Constrictive binding interactions.

• Intramolecular C-N cross coupling reactions.

• Dehydohalogenative polycondensation.

Promotes the efficient O-alkylation of alcohols to form mixed alkyl carbonates.
