Procedure
290.8 g (0.5 mol) stearyl monocitrate (obtained as described in 1) were dissolved in 650 ml acetone and 88 g (0.5 mol) calcium acetate were dissolved in 650 ml water. The two solutions were combined and treated as described in 1). 278.3 g (88.6% of the theoretical) of the calcium soap were obtained in the form of a colorless powder. Elemental analysis:
