Potassium carbonate, anhydrous, free-flowing ≥99%

Potassium carbonate (K2CO3) is a white salt, soluble in water (insoluble in ethanol) which forms a strongly alkaline solution.

P 2155 (OTTO) Potassium carbonate, anhydrous, free-flowing ≥99% Cas 584-08-7 - used in the synthesis of well-defined phosphate-methylated DNA fragments: It is shown that base deprotection can be accomplished in potassium carbonate/methanol without affecting the methyl phosphotriesters.
