Application

Magnesium Perchlorate Hexahydrate serves as a versatile and highly effective catalyst in various chemical syntheses, thanks to its hygroscopic nature and ability to be converted into anhydrous magnesium perchlorate. It is especially noted for its role in the efficient synthesis of α-aminophosphonates and in catalyzing the formation of imines and phenylhydrazones through reactions involving carbonyl compounds with amines and phenylhydrazine, achieving high yields at room temperature in short timeframes. Additionally, it functions as an electrophilic catalyst in the non-enzymic reduction of synthetic dihydropyridines and shows potential for use in developing magnesium ion batteries.
