Procedure

Into a 300 ml. flask equipped with mechanical stirrer and a condenser, and maintained under a nitrogen atmosphere, were added 21.5 grams magnesium acetate tetrahydrate and 100 ml. acetic anhydride and the mixture was heated at the reflux temperature for 3 hours. After the mixture had cooled, the liquid was drawn off and the solid dried at 40° C. under a vacuum of 0.2 mm mercury for several hours to obtain anhydrous magnesium acetate.
