Cesium Acetate, purity min. 99.9 %
CsOOCCH
Cesium Acetate, purity min. 99.9 % (CAS 3396-11-0, molecular formula CsOOCCH) is an inorganic chemical supplied as a technical-grade material. It is typically a white Crystalline powder.
Cesium acetate is useful in organic synthesis. Yields in a Perkin reaction are for example 2- to 9-fold higher as compared to the classic sodium acetate route: E. Koepp, F. Vögtle; Synthesis (1987) 177.
Typical specifications include: PURITY min. 99.9 %; Li max. 5 ppm; Na max. 100 ppm.
Handling in moist air should be avoided.
