General description
Silver nitrate, also known as Nitric acid silver(I) salt, is an odorless, colorless, or white versatile inorganic compound widely used as an oxidant and cauterizing agent due to its sclerosing, dehydrating, and escharotic properties. It is commonly used as a catalyst in the hydrolytic oxidation of organosilanes, leading to the production of high hydrogen yield and organosilanols.
Application
Silver nitrate can be used as a catalyst:
- For the oxidation of aromatic, aliphatic, and conjugated aldehydes to the corresponding carboxylic acids in the presence of H2O2 as an oxidant.
- In the air oxidation of benzylic and allylic alcohols to corresponding aldehydes or ketones in the presence of Na2CO3.
