Catalytic Sodium Acetate Trihydrate

Catalytic Sodium Acetate Trihydrate for Organic Synthesis — High-Purity Catalyst Grade Supply

Catalytic Sodium Acetate Trihydrate (CAS 6131-90-4) is a precise chemical substance made for organic synthesis tasks that are very difficult. This white solid material (Molecular Formula: CH₃COONa·3H₂O, Molecular Weight: 136.08) is used in both commercial and scientific settings to provide stable buffering, high catalytic efficiency, and strict impurity control. Shanxi Zhaoyi Chemical Co., Ltd., founded in 1988, produces this product at a facility covering 27,000 m² with an annual capacity of 150,000 tons of acetate products — ensuring consistent batch quality and reliable supply for global B2B buyers.

Technical Specifications

What Makes This Product Stand Out

When you're doing catalytic processes, it's very important that the pH stays stable. Unstable pH values directly cause poor reaction efficiency, low product yields and premature catalyst deactivation. This is where sodium acetate trihydrate catalyst grade material excels.

Key performance advantages include:

• Catalytic efficiency: Up to 40% higher than traditional sodium carbonate in Claisen condensation reactions
• Content purity: CH₃COONa·3H₂O ≥ 58%, with stable water content (~40%, fluctuation ≤ ±1%)
• Strict impurity control: Chloride ≤ 0.03%, iron ≤ 0.006%, heavy metals (as Pb) ≤ 0.001%
• Good fluidity: Non-caking crystals for accurate weighing and consistent feeding
• Excellent solubility: Uniform dispersion in aqueous and alcoholic reaction systems

  

Core Application Scenarios

This product is specifically engineered as both a catalyst and an acid-binding agent in organic synthesis. Its ability to neutralize acids generated during reactions — without interfering with reaction products — makes it uniquely suited for several processes.

Primary applications include:

Claisen condensation reactions—keeps pH stable to stop side reactions and keep conversion rates high

As part of acetylation processes, it removes small amounts of acid to protect sensitive intermediates.

Halohydrocarbon hydrolysis—balances chemical conditions and makes selection better

Used in catalytic systems that need precise pH management in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and dye industries

Along with being a catalyst, it also keeps the pH of the reaction area between 7.5 and 9.0 by acting as a buffer. In making medicines and colour intermediates, where the pH of the reaction has a direct effect on both the purity and the yield, this is very helpful.

To get a sodium acetate trihydrate chemical solution for controlled synthesis conditions, this grade is made to meet those exact requirements.

Catalytic Sodium Acetate Trihydrate vs Other Products

Quality Control & Testing Standards

Every batch is produced in alignment with domestic industrial production standards for catalytic applications. Quality is verified through systematic testing that covers both purity and impurity thresholds.

Third-party testing is fully supported. You can request a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for each batch before shipment. Standard documentation includes COA, MSDS, and multilingual compliance documents as required.

The pH stability of 7.5–9.0 in a 5% aqueous solution is maintained consistently, giving you predictable buffering performance batch after batch.

FAQ

Q: What does the result do most of the time in organic synthesis?

A:  it works as both a catalyst and an acid-binding agent. In reactions like Claisen condensation and acetylation, it keeps the pH stable, neutralises acids that are made in the reaction, and stops the catalyst from losing its power. This increases both yield and product purity.

Q: In terms of how well it works, how does it compare to sodium carbonate?

A: This product is about 40% more effective as a catalyst than regular sodium carbonate in processes like Claisen condensation. This performance benefit is directly linked to the stable 58–60% active content and low impurity profile.

Q: What kind of quality paperwork can I expect to get with each shipment?

A: Certificate of Analysis (COA), a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), and any other safety papers your market needs are all examples of standard documentation. On request, third-party testing reports can also be sent.

Q: What is the chemistry solution grade of sodium acetate trihydrate that can be used in medicine?

A: Yes. Heavy metals (≤ 0.001% as Pb), iron (≤ 0.006%), and chloride (≤ 0.03%) are tightly controlled in this grade, which makes it good for pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis where strict limits on impurities are needed.

Q: Can I ask for OEM labelling or custom packaging?

A: Sure thing. To meet the import and trade needs of your target market, the company offers custom package sizes, OEM labels, and bilingual paperwork.

Q: How should I store this item so that it keeps working well?

A: Keep it in a warehouse that is dry, well-ventilated, and has a relative humidity of 65% or less. Keep it away from heat, strong oxidisers, and things that are harmful. Always reseal opening package to keep crystals from breaking down due to moisture absorption.
