| 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 palladium-catalyzed arylation of thiophenes using aryl halides. It can also be used as a base to synthesize cinnamic acids via Perkin reaction. |
| General description: | Sodium acetate is an inexpensive and non-toxic chemical substance that is widely used in industry as a food additive or as a base for the neutralization of reaction mixtures. |
