Application:

Strong base reagent in organic synthesis: This is its main use.

‌Synthesis of pharmaceutical and pesticide intermediates: Solid sodium ethoxide is widely used in the intermediate steps of synthesizing various active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and pesticide technicals, especially in condensation, alkylation, cyclization and other reactions that require anhydrous strong base conditions. It is required for many important intermediates of antibiotics, cardiovascular drugs, hormones, vitamins, etc.

‌Synthesis of dyes and fragrances: In the process of synthesizing certain azo dyes, anthraquinone dyes and various flavors and fragrances (especially esters, lactones, and heterocyclic compounds), sodium ethoxide is often used as a condensation agent, alkylating agent or catalyst. The solid form is conducive to ensuring the low moisture content of the reaction system.

‌Polymer field: In anionic polymerization reactions, it is sometimes used as an initiator or co-catalyst. Used to synthesize certain special polymers or modified polymers.

PACKAGING:
