Uses

  • The most common application for silver carbonate is in the manufacture of silver powder, which is then put to use in microelectronics.
  • Silver carbonate supported on celite is known as Fetizon’s reagent. It is employed for the oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols, which results in the production of aldehydes and ketones, respectively.
  • It serves as a reagent in organic synthesis processes such as the Koenigs-Knorr reaction.
  • It has been utilized as a base in the Wittig reaction as well as in the C-H bond activation process.
  • It is also required in numerous organic transformations, such as the conversion of alkyl bromides to alcohol, because of its strong basicity.
