Potassium tert-butoxide | 865-47-4 FAQs

With a molecular weight of 112.21 g/mol, researchers can correctly compute molar concentrations, providing exact doses in reactions that need strict base amounts for predictable results.

The potassium tert-butoxide melting point of 240°C proves its durability. It allows it to be used in high-temperature processes without melting, assuring controlled reaction conditions and minimising side product production.

The potassium tert butoxide's molar mass is 112.21 g/mol which corresponds to its solubility in organic solvents such as tetrahydrofuran (THF), which influences reaction kinetics and optimises conditions for homogeneous catalysis.

Potassium tert-butoxide decomposes before boiling, rendering its boiling point uncertain. Instead, thermal decomposition data are used to determine acceptable temperature limits for reactions and applications.

Potassium tert-butoxide does not have a standard boiling point since it decomposes at high temperatures. This characteristic requires regulated settings to avoid deterioration during storage and reaction usage.
