Application
Iron(III) chloride (FeCl3) can be used as a catalyst:
- For the oxidation of glucose to gluconic acid in water.
- To synthesize 2-iodo substituted benzo[b]thiophenes by iodocyclization of 2-alkynylthioanisoles in the presence of sodium iodide and ethanol as a solvent.
- In the glycosylation sugars in the presence of allyl and alkynyl alcohols to synthesize corresponding glycosides.
- To prepare 1,2-trans glycosyl azides by azido glycosylation of glycosyl β-peracetates.
