CAS 563-63-3: Silver acetate

It is a reagent in the laboratory as a source of silver ions lacking an oxidizing anion. It is a reagent for direct ortho-arylation, and for conversion of organohalogen compounds into alcohols. Woodward cis-hydroxylation reaction employs silver acetate and iodine for selective conversin of alkenes into cis-diols. Silver acetate is the more preferred reagent for facile carbonylation of primary and secondary amines. It is also employed in the preparation of highly reflective, conductive silvered polymer films.

Silver acetate is an antimicrobial agent that exhibits its effect by reacting with proteins and nucleic acids. Silver acetate has been shown to be effective against inflammatory bowel disease in experimental models, which may be due to the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) activity of silver ions. Silver acetate binds to DNA, leading to inhibition of bacterial replication and cell death. The polymerization of silver acetate is initiated by light exposure, which increases the antimicrobial activity of the compound. Silver acetate also inhibits the growth of galleria mellonella larvae that are exposed to a dose group. This anti-inflammatory property may be due to inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis caused by metal ion release from the compound.

Silver acetate

Applications Silver Acetate is used as a reagent in chemical synthesis in reaction such as carbonylation of primary and secondary amines as well as in woodward cis-hydroxylation converting alkenes into cis-diols. Also used in gum, lonzenges and sprays that are targeted to assist people in quitting the habit of smoking since it produces a bad taste when combined with cigarettes.
