CAS 1906-57-6: Ethanedioic acid, 1-ethyl ester, potassium salt (1:1)

Description: Ethanedioic acid, 1-ethyl ester, potassium salt (1:1), commonly known as potassium oxalate ethyl ester, is a chemical compound characterized by its salt formation from ethanedioic acid (oxalic acid) and an ethyl ester. This compound typically appears as a white crystalline solid and is soluble in water, which is a key property for its applications in various chemical processes. It is often used in organic synthesis and as a reagent in analytical chemistry. The presence of the potassium ion contributes to its ionic nature, enhancing its solubility and reactivity in aqueous solutions. Additionally, the ethyl ester group can influence the compound's volatility and reactivity, making it useful in esterification reactions. Safety considerations are important, as oxalic acid derivatives can be toxic and corrosive, necessitating proper handling and storage. Overall, this compound serves as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis and has potential applications in agriculture and pharmaceuticals.
