Mercury(II) trifluoroacetate, 98+%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals
Mercury(II) trifluoroacetate promotes selective cyclization of methylthio-substituted divinyl ketones to 5-fluorocyclopentenone derivatives. It is a raw material of fine chemicals and pharmaceutical intermediates. So it can be used in the pharmaceutical synthesis. Both linear and cross-linked copolymers of N-vinylcarbazole and methylacrylate can be prepared and mercuriated by using mercury trifluoroacetate in THF or dichloromethane.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
