CY1328 Silver methanesulfonate (AgCH3SO3) Powder (CAS No. 2386-52-9)

Silver Methanesulphonate (AgCH3SO3) Description

Silver methanesulphonate, also known as silver methanesulphonate or silver methanesulfonic acid salt, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula CH3AgSO3. It is produced from methanesulfonic acid (CH3SO3H) by replacing a hydrogen ion with a silver cation (Ag). The resulting compound is a silver salt of methanesulfonic acid.

Silver methanesulphonate and other silver salts are utilised in chemistry, particularly in organic synthesis, as catalysts in a variety of reactions. They may be used as Lewis acids in processes such as the Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction and as mild oxidising agents in specific oxidation reactions. Furthermore, silver salts may serve as a source of silver ions in coordination chemistry and analytical chemistry.
