Description

Zinc Methanolate CAS NO 1184-55-0 is a versatile organometallic compound widely used as a catalyst and reagent in organic synthesis. This material is valued for its strong basicity and reactivity, particularly in transesterification and condensation reactions. It is a critical component for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, fine chemical, and polymer industries seeking efficient and selective catalysts.

Application

• Primary catalyst for the transesterification of fats and oils in biodiesel production.
• Key reagent in organic synthesis for the formation of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds.
• Used as a condensation catalyst in the production of polyesters and other specialty polymers.
• Employed in pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis, particularly for APIs requiring zinc-mediated steps.
• Acts as a strong base in deprotonation reactions and the synthesis of metal alkoxides.
• Utilized in cross-coupling reactions and other advanced catalytic processes in fine chemical manufacturing.

Quality Control

Our Zinc Methanolate is produced under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, impurity profiling, and physical characterization. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be handled under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent decomposition. Keep away from strong acids and incompatible materials.
