CAS 19455-23-3: Propanoic acid, 2,2-dimethyl-, potassium salt
Description:Propanoic acid, 2,2-dimethyl-, potassium salt, also known as potassium 2,2-dimethylpropanoate, is a potassium salt derived from 2,2-dimethylpropanoic acid. This compound features a branched alkyl chain, which contributes to its unique properties. It is typically a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water, making it useful in various applications, including food preservation and as a buffering agent in biochemical processes. The presence of the potassium ion enhances its solubility and stability in aqueous solutions. As a salt of a carboxylic acid, it exhibits typical acid-base behavior, where it can act as a weak acid in solution. Its structure allows for potential applications in agriculture as a fertilizer or in the food industry as a preservative due to its antimicrobial properties. Additionally, it may be utilized in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
