BUTYLMERCURI ACETATE - Introduction
BUTYLMERCURI ACETATE (butyl mercuric ACETATE) is an organic mercury compound with the formula C6H12O2Hg.
Nature:
BUTYLMERCURI ACETATE is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethers and alcohols at normal temperature, but insoluble in water. It has a high density and a melting point of about -40°C.
Use:
BUTYLMERCURI ACETATE is mainly used as a catalyst for organic synthesis reactions, especially in the synthesis of acrylates. It can promote the esterification reaction and Ester alcohol interconversion reaction.
Method:
BUTYLMERCURI ACETATE is usually prepared by the reaction of Mercury and butyl ACETATE. The reaction is generally carried out in the absence of oxygen and requires purification and crystallization steps to obtain a pure product.
Safety Information:
Because BUTYLMERCURI ACETATE contains organic mercury compounds, it has certain toxicity to human body. It is irritating to the skin, eyes and respiratory tract, as well as potentially harmful to the central nervous system and liver of the organism. Therefore, the use and handling of BUTYLMERCURI ACETATE should strictly follow the relevant safety procedures, and take adequate personal protective measures, such as wearing gloves, goggles and protective masks. In addition, care should be taken to avoid contact with oxidizing agents and strong acids during use to prevent dangerous reactions.
