11. The acetic acid reacts with the sodium bicarbonate to form sodium acetate , carbon dioxide, and water. 12. A buffer solution of sodium acetate and acetic acid I believe, has a pH of around 4.76. 13. Resonance stabilization, however, enables weaker bases such as carboxylates; for example, sodium acetate is a weak base. 14. The ligand is triphenylphosphine, PHOX or BINAP . The base is triethylamine, potassium carbonate or sodium acetate . 15. The flavouring used is sodium acetate , which would seem to be remarkably inocous as artificial flavourings go. 16. Then 1.2 equivalents of acetic anhydride is added followed by 1.2 equivalents of aqueous sodium acetate solution. 17. The addition of the organic salts sodium acetate and sodium tartrate also increases the yield of the antibiotic. 18. In the second step the pentaacetyl glycononitrile is formed by reaction with acetic anhydride in acetic acid with sodium acetate . 19. The reaction of diethyl phthalate with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in the presence of sodium acetate also leads to " N "-hydroxyphthalimide. 20. This intermediate also has two acidic protons and reacts with benzaldehyde, acetic anhydride and sodium acetate to a so-called azlactone.
