We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. FeCl₃ is used in many biomass conversion processes because of its unique properties such as nontoxicity, low-cost, abundance, and high selectivity. Here, this product is 0.2 M in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran and thus aligns with "Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries", "Use of Renewable Feedstocks", and has been enhanced for catalytic efficiency.

Iron(III) chloride in greener solvent, 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF) can be used:

• As a mild oxidant for phenolic coupling reaction.
• In dimerizing aryllithiumsand ketone enolates.
• As a mild Lewis acid catalyst to catalyzes ene reactions.
• In Nazarov cyclizations, Michael additions, and acetonation reactions.
