実験手順

To A reaction flask was charged 24.0 g (0.120 mole) of lauric acid, 60.0 g methanol and 0.40 g of tetraethylammonium chloride hydrate. Copper foil was used as the anode and a graphite rod as the cathode. The reaction mixture was heated to 50° C. and a direct current was passed between the two electrodes. A bluish solid precipitated out which was removed from the electrode surface periodically. After passing 7,803 coulombs of electricity, 3.1 g (0.049 mole) of copper was consumed. The solid was filtered and dried to give a blue solid containing 13.50% copper.
