Alkylating and metalating agent, without formation of gaseous by-products. Initiator for olefin polymerization.

The use of a 'ready-made' dibutyl ether solution avoids the handling of the very hygroscopic and dusty ZnBr₂ and LiBr powder.

The ZnBr₂/LiBr dibutyl ether solution was developed mainly for the application in organic synthesis, e.g.:

Cesium acetate is useful in organic synthesis. Yields in a Perkin reaction are for example 2- to 9-fold higher as compared to the classic sodium acetate route: E. Koepp, F. Vögtle; Synthesis (1987) 177.

Cesium aluminum fluoride is used as a flux for brazing aluminum alloys rich in magnesium and as a heterogeneous catalyst in organic reactions.

Operating medium for air-conditioning and air or gas-drying equipment.

Reduction of acid chlorides to aldehydes. Stereoselective reductions of carbocyclic and steroid ketones. Reduction of aldehydes and ketones, leaving unaffected halogen-, ester-, lactone, amide-, nitrile-, nitro- and/or epoxy-groups as well as carbon and carbon multiple bonds.

ADMA 8 amine, octyldimethylamine, is typically used as an intermediate in the manufacture of quaternary ammonium compounds and amine oxides. This product is a clear liquid at room temperature and has the characteristic odor of fatty amines.

Cesium iodide is a highest purity product particularly used for scintillation purposes, e.g. in medical imaging.

Versatile reducing agent for organic chemical and phamaceutical industry.

- strong oxidizing agent
- corrosion inhibitor, e.g. in absorption coolers
- additive in fire works
