Ethyl Acetoacetate

EAA, ethyl 3-oxobutanoate, acetoacetic ester · CAS 141-97-9

Intermediates Pharmaceutical intermediate CoA per batchSDSGC chromatogramKeto-enol ratio data

Ethyl acetoacetate exists as a keto–enol mixture, and the ratio shifts with temperature and trace base. For customers running Claisen condensations, a drifting enol content changes reaction time in ways that are hard to diagnose downstream.

We report the keto–enol ratio and the acidity on every CoA, and ship in steel drums rather than HDPE for routes where plasticiser leaching into a keto ester is a concern.
