Ferrous chloride

Product Information

Molecular Formula:
FeCl2
Molecular Weight:
126.75
Description
Iron(II) chloride can be used to catalyze:• The preparation of Grignard compounds, such as 1-naphthylmagnesium chloride.• The selective oxidation of 2,4,6-trimethylphenol (2,4,6-TMP) to 3,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (DMHB) in the presence of acetoxime.• Raney-type catalysts modified with FeCl2 show enhanced selective hydrogenation of an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde to an unsaturated alcohol.

The molarity calculator equation

Mass (g) = Concentration (mol/L) × Volume (L) × Molecular Weight (g/mol)

The dilution calculator equation

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2
