Description
Potassium oxirane-2-carboxylate is a small-ring carboxylate salt for laboratory and biochemical research, identified by CAS number 51877-54-4. It has the empirical formula C₃H₃KO₃ and a molar mass of 126,15 g/mol. The material is The structure unites an oxirane (epoxide) ring with a potassium carboxylate function, giving a compact, reactive building block of interest in organic and bio-organic chemistry. Clear molar-mass and formula data allow precise stoichiometric calculations when the salt is dissolved or converted further. This product from manufacturer Carl ROTH is positioned for professional laboratory use within the chemicals and biochemicals range. Researchers benefit from a defined chemical identity and a convenient micro-scale pack that supports economical handling of specialised intermediates. The stated physical parameters help laboratories complete inventory records and experimental protocols without ambiguity, while suits groups that need controlled amounts of epoxide-containing carboxylates for exploratory chemistry.

Questions about Potassium oxirane-2-carboxylate, 250 mg
What is this article?
Potassium oxirane-2-carboxylate, 250 mg is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Organic building blocks & synthesis reagents, inside Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents, in Lab chemicals.
A building block is an organic molecule bought to become part of a larger one. The structure, the CAS number and the purity decide it. A 95 percent reagent and a 99.9 percent reagent of the same name leave different impurities in the product. The functional groups are the reason it was chosen.
An organic chemical is built on carbon. In this category it is a building block or a reagent for making another molecule: a starting material, a coupling agent, a polymer, a PEG. Purity is a specification of which impurities remain. The structure, the CAS number and the grade decide whether two bottles are the same substance. Structures and properties are on PubChem. Nomenclature is IUPAC. Classification follows ECHA and the CLP Regulation.
