Application

Potassiumhexacyanocobaltate(III) can be used as a complexing agent to synthesize double metal cyanide catalyst:
  • For the chemoselective reductive amination of carbonyl compounds with aromatic amines to synthesize substituted amines in the presence of polymethylhydrosiloxane as a reducing agent.
  • In the ring opening polymerization of propylene oxide to synthesize polyols.
  • In the coupling reaction of CO2 with hydrous epoxides to synthesize cyclic carbonates.
