Merck, 383074-500G, Bismuth(III) nitrate pentahydrate

General description
Bismuth(III) nitrate pentahydrate is a non-toxic, inexpensive, easy to handle and air insensitive reagent, commonly used in organic synthesis with a wide range of applications.
Application
Bismuth(III) nitrate pentahydrate may be used in the following processes:
Conversion of thioamides and thioureas to their oxo derivatives.
Transformation of aromatic aldehydes to carboxylic acids under microwave and solvent free conditions.
Synthesize coumarins by Pechmann condensation under solvent free conditions.
As a precursor in the synthesis of pure and lanthanum-modified bismuth ferrite (BFO) ceramics.
As a nitrating agent in the synthesis of methyl nitramino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzenes under microwave irradiation.
As a catalyst in the preparation of 4-amino-5-pyrimidine carbonitrile and pyrimidinone derivatives.
Synthesis of glycosides by Fischer glycosylation of unprotected sugars.
Synthesis of bismuth oxide (Bi₂O₃) nanoparticles.
Oxidation of 4-substituted Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridines.
Selective oxidation of sufides to sulfoxides.
