Sodium Ethylate Solution, 21%

C₂H₅ONa in C₂H₅OH

A solution of sodium ethylate, a strong base commonly used in organic synthesis and as a catalyst in transesterification reactions.

Typical Applications

Strong organic base, especially well suited for water-free organic syntheses for various reaction types (like transesterification, deprotonation, ring-opening polymerization, anionic polymerization etc.); Ready to use solution in ethanol

Benefits at a glance

Alkoxides are important catalysts to convert plant or fish oils into fatty acid esters, i.e. Omega-3-acid ethyl esters like EPA-EE.

Alkoxide (NE 21) is state of the art catalyst which is ready to use and has superior performance over hydroxides due to higher yield and less soap formation.
