Key Applications

Lewis Acid Catalysis in Organic Synthesis
ScCl₃(THF)₃ promotes a wide range of C–C and C–O bond-forming reactions, including Diels–Alder cycloadditions, aldol condensations, and selective carbonyl activations in asymmetric or total synthesis.
Polymerization and Copolymerization Catalysis
Used in the development of rare-earth metal catalysts for living polymerization of olefins, lactides, and cyclic esters.
Rare Earth Coordination Chemistry
Functions as a convenient Scandium(III) precursor for synthesizing coordination complexes and MOFs (metal-organic frameworks).
Academic & Medicinal Chemistry Research
Valuable in exploring enantioselective catalytic systems and developing biologically active organometallic complexes.
