Description

General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. FeCl₃ is used in many biomass conversion processes because of its unique properties such as nontoxicity, low-cost, abundance, and high selectivity. Here, this product is 0.2 M in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran and thus aligns with "Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries", "Use of Renewable Feedstocks", and has been enhanced for catalytic efficiency.
