Application
Ammonium iron(III) sulfate dodecahydrate, appearing as slightly grey-purple crystals or powder, serves a diverse range of purposes across various fields. In medicine, it plays a critical role, while in analytical chemistry, it is instrumental as a reagent. Additionally, in the textile industry, it acts as an effective mordant for dyeing. This compound is also employed as a catalyst in chemical synthesis, facilitating the production of substances such as isoamyl acetate from acetic acid and isoamyl alcohol, and 2-amino-5-(5-nitro-2-thienyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole from 5-nitrothiophene-2-carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone through oxidative cyclization.
