Cerium(III) chloride (CeCl3), also known as cerous chloride or cerium trichloride, is a compound of cerium and chlorine. It is a white hygroscopic solid; it rapidly absorbs water on exposure to moist air to form a hydrate, which appears to be of variable composition, though the heptahydrate CeCl3·7 H2O is known. It is highly soluble in water, and (when anhydrous) it is soluble in ethanol and acetone.
Cerium(III) chloride,- used in the preparation of allylsilanes from esters. It is used as a reducing agent in organic synthesis in place of sodium borohydride.
