Usage
Potassium tert-butoxide is an important organic base with a base greater than potassium hydroxide. Due to the inductive effect of (CH3)3CO-three methyl groups, it is more alkaline and active than other potassium alkoxides and is therefore a good catalyst.
Storage
It should be sealed and shaded to be stored in a dry, cool, well ventilated place.
