| Stability | Stable at room temperature in closed containers under normal storage and handling conditions. Moisture sensitive. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents and strong acids. |
| It is used as organocatalyst for the cyanosilylation of various carbonyl compounds under extremely mild conditions, and also used as reagent for the transformation of allyl- and alkyl halides into protected primary amines. |
| Potassium phthalimide is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of N-alkylated phthalimide, which is involved in the preparation of primary amines (Gabriel synthesis) by the hydrolysis reaction. |
| It is also used as an intermediate for synthetic indigo, pigments, dyes and pharmaceuticals. |
| Phthalimide is used as a precursor to anthranilic acid, a precursor to azo dyes and saccharin. |
| It is also used for pharma intermediate. |
| Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. |
| Protected from moisture. |
| 25 Kg. HDPE. Bags With Inside Polythene Liner. |
| Packaging according to customer requirements (25kg, 50kg, 100kg and more). |
