Properties and Usage:

Potassium tert-butoxide (CAS 865-47-4) is an organic potassium compound with strong alkalinity, which is used in organic synthesis and chemical reactions, especially in the preparation of high-purity chemicals and reactions as catalysts.

1. Catalytic effect in organic synthesis

As a strong base catalyst, potassium tert-butoxide participates in nucleophilic substitution, elimination and dehydrogenation reactions, promotes the formation or breakage of carbon-carbon bonds, and is used in the preparation of chemical intermediates.

2. Dehydrogenation reaction of alcohol compounds

Under certain conditions, potassium tert-butoxide can promote the dehydrogenation reaction of alcohols to generate olefins or aromatic compounds, and is often used in the synthesis of olefins and important chemicals.

3. Formation of carbon-carbon bonds

Potassium tert-butoxide can be used as a strong base in Wittig reaction and Aldol reaction to promote the formation of carbon-carbon bonds, generate negative ion intermediates, and react with other substances to form new carbon-carbon bonds.

4. Deprotonation reaction

As a deprotonating agent, potassium tert-butoxide can remove hydrogen ions from organic molecules, generate alkaline organic anions, and promote nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions.

5. Application in olefin synthesis

Potassium tert-butoxide helps convert saturated hydrocarbons into olefins in dehydrogenation reactions, and is particularly suitable for the synthesis of long-chain olefins.

6. Reactants in liquid phase reactions
