Description

Cerium(III) chloride is a white powder and is used for incandescent gas mantles, spectrography and polymerization of olefins.

Cerium(III) chloride acts as a Lewis acid and used in Friedel-Crafts alkylation and acylation reactions in organic synthesis. It is used as a precursor for the preparation of other cerium salts, such as cerium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate.
When added to nitrile aldol reactions, diastereoselectivity is enhanced, providing high yields of β-hydroxynitri
