Application

Indium(III) acetate is a versatile compound, primarily recognized for its role as a catalyst in facilitating the intermolecular radical addition of organic iodides to electron-deficient alkenes. This compound, appearing as white, hygroscopic crystals, is also employed in the reduction of 1-bromo-3-phenylpropane to propylbenzene. Furthermore, when heated, Indium(III) acetate decomposes to form indium oxide, highlighting its utility in preparation processes. Freely soluble in mineral and acetic acids and characterized by an acetic aroma, this substance exemplifies functionality in chemical synthesis and processing.
