Application:	Potassium acetate can be used: • As a catalyst in the glycolysis of rigid polyurethane (PU) using DEG (diethylene glycol) as a solvent. • As a nucleophilic catalyst for addition and polymerization reaction. • As a nucleophilic catalyst in the regioselective reaction of epoxides with S-phenyl thioesters. • As a promoter/base in transition metal-catalyzed reactions. • As a source of methyl radical in photo-decarboxylative nucleophilic additions to phthalimides and source of potassium ion for templating reactions. Potassium acetate can also be used as a base: • In the Lossen rearrangement of hydroxamic acid. • In the E₂ elimination′s reaction. • In the fragmentation of α,α-dichloroketoesters and deprotonation of alcohols.
General description:	Potassium acetate is a hygroscopic material used as a base in organic synthesis. It can also be used as a buffer and neutralizing agent.
