General description

Gold(III) bromide, also known as auric bromide, serves as a starting material in the productionof gold nanoparticles, catalysts, and various organogold compounds.

Application

Gold(III) bromide can be used:
  • As a precursor to synthesize gold nanoparticles for perovskite nanocrystals.
  • As a catalyst for dehydrogenative coupling of amines and phenylglyoxal derivatives to synthesize α-Ketoamide.
  • For the chemoselective annulation of isocyanates with 2H-azirine.
