Description

Sodium 2-(2-Butoxyethoxy)Ethanolate is the sodium salt derivative of 2-(2-Butoxyethoxy)ethanol, a key intermediate and reagent in advanced organic synthesis. This compound matters for its role as a phase-transfer catalyst and anionic surfactant precursor, enabling critical reactions in controlled environments. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer industries for processes requiring a strong, alkoxide-based nucleophile or catalyst.

Application

• As a phase-transfer catalyst (PTC) in alkylation and etherification reactions within fine chemical synthesis.
• Key intermediate in the production of specialty surfactants and emulsifiers for industrial formulations.
• Reagent for the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, particularly in API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) manufacturing.
• Catalyst in polymerization reactions for creating specialized polyethers and coatings.
• Used in agrochemical synthesis for producing herbicides and plant growth regulators.
• Base component in corrosion inhibitor formulations for metal treatment processes.
• Employed in organic electronics research for precursor synthesis.

Quality Control

Our Sodium 2-(2-Butoxyethoxy)Ethanolate is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by titration and identification by FT-IR, to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity and reactivity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized nature, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry place at 15-25°C. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to air and moisture.
