Description of key information

Magnesium diethyl dicarbonate hydrolysis very rapidly via magnesium ethanolate forming carbon dioxide, ethanol and magnesium hydroxide.

The half life of magnesium diethyl dicarbonate was determined to be T1/2 < 1 min (Hydrolysis as a Function of pH). In all experiments the hydrolysis of magnesium diethyl dicarbonate in buffer solutions (pH4, pH7, pH9) takes place immediately. Hydrolysis rates of >= 99% within 1 minute reaction time are observed for all samples.
