Osmium Scavenging with SiliaMetS
> back to SiliaMetS Case Studies
Osmium products are very useful in organic synthesis. One of the most common product is osmium tetroxide (OsO4), which is a very reliable and powerful reagent for the cis-dihydroxylation of alkenes. However, osmium compounds, in particular OsO4, are highly poisonous, even at low exposure levels, and must be handled with appropriate precautions. Therefore, it is desirable to efficiently remove residual osmium from products of interest.
A scavenging study on three organic reactions involving osmium reactants were performed. The metal scavenging efficiency of SiliaMetS is highlighted in the table on the following page.
