Iron(III) 2-ethylhexanoate
Iron(III) 2-Ethylhexanoate is an iron source that is soluble in organic solvents as an organometallic compound (also known as metalorganic, organo-inorganic and metallo-organic compounds) as an organometallic compound (also known as metalorganic, organo-inorganic and metallo-organic compounds). Ethylhexanoates are carboxylates with many commercial applications. They are commonly used in various catalysts for oxidation, hydrogenation and polymerization and as an adhesion promoter. Iron 2-Ethylhexanoate is one of numerous organo-metallic compounds (also known as metalorganic, organo-inorganic and metallo-organic compounds) f
Iron(III) 2-Ethylhexanoate is used as a catalyst used in polymerization reactions. It also serves as a mild Lewis acid catalyst for the stereoselective Diels-Alder reaction. Further, it acts as Ziegler-Natta type catalyst system involved in the polymerization of 1,3-butadiene
