General description

Sodium acetate is a non-toxic chemical substancethat is widely used in industry as a food additive or as a base for theneutralization of reaction mixtures.

Application

Sodium acetate can be used as a reagent:
  • In the Erlenmeyer-Plochl reaction to synthesize oxazolones by the condensation of aromatic aldehydes and hippuric acid.
  • In the rhodium-catalyzed cascade cyclization between benzoic acids and isocyanates to synthesize N-substituted phthalimides.
