• The nucleophilicity of acetate anion, e.g. in benzene or acetonitrile, is greatly increased in the presence of 18-crown-6: Tetrahedron Lett., 2417 (1974). In a comparative study of various anions in acetonitrile, 'naked' acetate, formed in this manner, was surprisingly found to be the most nucleophilic: Tetrahedron Lett., 4205 (1975).
• Has been found to give faster reaction than sodium acetate in the Perkin condensation of carboxylic acid anhydrides with aromatic aldehydes: Org. Synth. Coll., 3, 127, 426 (1955); review: Org. React., 1, 210 (1942).
