Product Information

• Name: Lead(IV) acetate - Stabilized with acetic acid (5-10%)
• Synonyms: Lead(IV) tetraacetatePb(Acac)4
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Lead acetate is an alkanoic acid that can be used as a lead salt. It has been shown to react with protocatechuic acid in the presence of hydrogen to form lead(IV) protocatechuate and acetic acid. This reaction mechanism can be applied to the analysis of other organic acids, such as fatty acids. Lead acetate also inhibits protease activity in vitro and has been shown to have therapeutic effects against autoimmune diseases and polycystic ovarian syndrome. Lead acetate has a low toxicity and is stable when mixed with trifluoroacetic acid or nitro compounds, but very reactive with strong oxidizing agents such as hydrochloric acid or hydrogen fluoride. Lead acetate is non-hygroscopic and insoluble in water, making it suitable for use in analytical chemistry.
