Cesium carbonate CAS#534-17-8

Basic Information

Cesium carbonate
Cs₂CO₃
white crystalline powder

Cesium carbonate is a white, hygroscopic inorganic solid that dissolves readily in water to form an alkaline solution. It serves as a base in organic synthesis, including alkylation and selected carbon-carbon or carbon-nitrogen coupling reactions. Further uses include manufacture of other cesium compounds and research on energy materials. Solvent compatibility and moisture content are important when selecting it for nonaqueous reactions.

product description

Versatile Organic Intermediate: Cesium carbonate (Cs₂CO₃, CAS 534-17-8) is an inorganic base used in organic synthesis, including alkylation and selected metal-catalyzed coupling reactions.


Good Solubility in Organic Solvents: Cesium carbonate readily dissolves in water to form alkaline solutions. Its solubility in organic solvents varies, so solvent compatibility should be confirmed for the intended reaction.


Stable Physical Properties for Handling: Typically supplied as a white crystalline powder, cesium carbonate is hygroscopic and should be kept tightly sealed to limit moisture absorption.


Suitable for Non-Aqueous Systems: Cesium carbonate is used as a base in suitable non-aqueous reaction systems. Performance depends on the solvent, substrate, reaction conditions, and moisture content.

Product Description of Cesium Carbonate CAS#534-17-8

Cesium carbonate is an inorganic white solid at ambient temperature and pressure. It is highly water-soluble and highly hygroscopic in air. Its aqueous solution is strongly alkaline, reacting with acids to produce cesium salts, water and carbon dioxide. Thanks to its high reactivity and convertibility, it is widely used as a precursor for making other cesium salts and in diverse chemical processes.


Product Application of Cesium Carbonate CAS#534-17-8

Cesium carbonate is widely used to synthesize other cesium compounds and acts as a strong base for delicate organic reactions. It is frequently employed in C–C and C–N cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki–Miyaura, Heck and Buchwald–Hartwig amination. In energy materials, it aids electron transport in solar cells to improve power conversion efficiency.

It also finds applications in special optical glass, petroleum catalytic additives, high-performance ceramics and the sulfuric acid industry. Moreover, it facilitates various organic conversions, including N-alkylation of sulfonamides, β-lactams and indoles, as well as amine carbamination, alcohol carbonylation, and alcohol aerobic oxidation to carbonyls with no polymeric byproducts. It also enables efficient O-alkylation of alcohols to yield mixed alkyl carbonates.
