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
Chemical similarity Chemical similarity Chemical similarity (or molecular similarity) refers to the similarity of chemical elements, molecules or chemical compounds with respect to either structural or functional qualities, i.e. the effect that the chemical compound has on reaction partners in inorganic or biological settings. Biological effects and thus also similarity of effects are usually quantified using the biological activity of a compound. In general terms, function can be related to the chemical activity of compounds (among others). The notion of "chemical similarity" (or "molecular similarity") is one of the most important concepts in chemoinformatics. It plays an important role in modern approaches
