CAS 6742-69-4: 2-Propanol, ytterbium(3+) salt

Ytterbium(III) i-propoxide (99.9%-Yb) (REO)

Ytterbium(III) isopropoxide is a ligand that can be used to allylate organic compounds. It is an expansion agent, which means that it can be used to increase the volume of a sample. Ytterbium(III) isopropoxide has been shown to react with aldehydes and bidentate ligands in the presence of magnetic stirring. The reaction product was analyzed using analytical methods such as GC-MS and NMR. Ytterbium(III) isopropoxide has also been modified for use in cellular extractions, leading to recovery efficiencies of femtomolar concentrations.

Yttrium(III) tris(isopropoxide) is a catalyst for stereoselective conjugate addition reactions, ring-opening polymerization, generation of reactive enolates, allylic substitution and cyano-phosphorylation of enones and synthesis of nanocomposites. 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. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
