Silver Carbonate (CAT: R033474) is a pale yellow, water-insoluble inorganic compound widely used as a mild oxidizing agent and reagent in organic synthesis. It plays a key role in the preparation of aldehydes from alcohols, halide displacement reactions, and the Koenigs-Knorr glycosylation process. Additionally, silver carbonate is employed in the production of silver-based catalysts, conductive pastes, and antimicrobial coatings. Its thermal decomposition yields silver metal and carbon dioxide, making it useful in controlled silver deposition. With broad utility in pharmaceuticals, electronics, and material science, silver carbonate is a valuable laboratory and industrial reagent.
