General description
Cesium carbonate is a powerful inorganic base widely used in organic synthesis. It is a potential chemoselective catalyst for the reduction of aldehydes and ketones to alcohols. It is employed as base for the Heck coupling reaction of 4-trifluoromethyl-1-chlorobenzene and aryl chlorides.
Application
Cesium carbonate can be used as a base in C-C and C-N cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki−Miyaura, Heck, and Buchwald-Hartwig amination reactions. It is also used as a base in alkylation reactions.
Promotes the efficient O-alkylation of alcohols to form mixed alkyl carbonates.

Cs2CO3 has been found to be an efficient and chemoselective catalyst for reduction of aldehydes and ketones to alcohols with one equivalent of Ph2SiH2 as the reductant under solvent-free conditions. Most of the aldehydes employed can be effectively hydrosilated quantitatively

A detailed investigation into the influence of phosphines, additives, bases and solvents on the Heck coupling reaction of 4-trifluoromethyl-1-chlorobenzene (2) is presented. It is shown that a number of catalyst systems exist for efficient cross coupling of electron-deficient aryl chlorides
