Calcium ethoxide, with the CAS number 2914-17-2, is an inorganic compound that consists of calcium and ethoxide groups. It typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air. This compound is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but is generally insoluble in water. Calcium ethoxide is often used as a reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various calcium-containing compounds and as a catalyst in transesterification reactions. It can also serve as a base in deprotonation reactions due to the presence of ethoxide ions. When handling calcium ethoxide, it is important to consider its reactivity, especially with moisture, as it can lead to the release of ethanol. Safety precautions should be taken to avoid inhalation or skin contact, as it may cause irritation. Overall, calcium ethoxide is a versatile compound with applications in both chemical synthesis and industrial processes.
