High purity Sodium Tert-Butoxide

Short Description:

Formula C4H9Na Cas 865-48-5 Molecular Weight 96.10

Properties: White crystals, as a strong base, are widely used in condensation, rearrangement and ring-opening reactions in chemical industry, medicine, pesticide and organic synthesis. Due to its large steric hindrance, good solubility and extremely strong alkalinity (stronger than sodium ethoxide), it has unique and extensive applications in organic synthesis. The core difference between it and sodium ethoxide lies in the steric hindrance effect of the tert-butyl group and its adaptability to solvents, which makes it perform better in specific reactions.
