Application

Gallium(III) iodide can be used:
  • As a catalyst for Biginelli-type reaction to synthesize dihydropyrimidine-2(1H)-one derivatives.
  • As a reagent for the stereoselective synthesis of (Z)-β-iodo Baylis–Hillman adducts and for the aza-Prins cyclization.
  • As a precursor to synthesize highly crystalline gallium nitride crystals for energy conversion devices.
  • As a starting material to synthesize high-purity chalcogenide glasses.

General description

Gallium(III) iodide is a high melting pointinorganic solid with low volatility. It is used in various fields such as the production of semiconductors, gallium nitride crystals, and organic synthesis.
