Potassium ethoxide since any transesterification reaction does not result in ester scrambling. Potassium ethoxide is stable, but also both flammable and corrosive. The compound reacts vigorously with water. If the compound comes into contact with damp air, it may lead to the heating and ignition of the solid powder. Keep separated from air, moisture, water, acids, oxidzing agents, and reducing agents. It can also cause severe skin burns. Potassium ethoxide Potassium ethoxide, also known as potassium ethanolate, is an off-white or yellow powder with the chemical formula of CHKO. Potassium ethoxide contains an ethoxide ion, the conjugate base of ethanol, which makes
Acetaldoxime Acetaldoxime Acetaldoxime is the chemical compound with formula CHNO. It is one of the simplest oxime-containing compounds, and has a wide variety of uses in chemical synthesis. Acetaldoxime will often appear as a colorless liquid, or a white solid. Its solid can form two different crystallize modifications with needle-like structures, one melting at approximately 44°C-47°C for the alpha form, and 12°C for the beta form. The liquid is known to have a pungent odor, and is highly flammable. The compound can act as both an acid or a base, due to its acidic proton on the hydroxyl group and the
