Sodium acetylacetonate is an organic compound with the nominal formula Na[CH(C(O)CH3)2]. This white, water-soluble solid is the conjugate base of acetylacetone.[1]
The compound is prepared by deprotonation of acetylacetone: [2]
- NaOH + CH2(C(O)CH3)2 → NaCH(C(O)CH3)2 + H2O
The anhydrous compound is produced by deprotonation with sodium hydride in an aprotic solvent such as THF:[3]
- NaH + CH2(C(O)CH3)2 → NaCH(C(O)CH3)2 + H2
