propan2olate
Propan2olate refers to the conjugate base of isopropanol, also known as isopropyl alcohol. Its chemical formula is typically written as (CH3)2CHO-. It is formed when isopropanol loses a proton (H+). Propan2olate is a strong base and a nucleophile. It is often generated in situ by reacting isopropanol with a strong base such as sodium hydride or an alkali metal like sodium.
The propan2olate anion is a common reagent in organic chemistry, particularly in reactions involving deprotonation or
Due to its strong basicity, it must be handled with care and typically in anhydrous conditions to
