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.

General description
