Abstract
Ammonium acetate (NH4OAc) is an easily biodegradable chemical, which displays its versatility in almost all arrays of chemical science. It is a white crystalline solid with a melting range of 110-114 °C and is generally stored at low temperature under vacuum because it is hygroscopic and decomposes at elevated temperatures. Pure ammonium acetate can be prepared by saturating glacial acetic acid with dry ammonia. [1] Qualities like cheap and wide commercial availability, safe and easy handling, fair solubility in water and organic solvents and, above all, its non-toxic and eco-friendly nature make ammonium acetate a popular reagent and effective alternative to gaseous ammonia.
