Damn, this one's hard to find!

We all know of acetone as our friendly, OTC, low-boiling aprotic solvent. Very handy for SN2 reactions, etc, as long as there's not such strong base around.

Only problem is, it's not very polar compared to other "real" aprotic solvents--HMPA, DMF, acetonitrile, DMSO. So salts don't dissolve in it very well.

Does anybee know the solubilities of other common salts in acetone?

NaI, KI
NaCN, KCN
NaOH, KOH, LiOH
Na2CO3, K2CO3
etc.
