Calcium Carbonate → HCID 70353199, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 200 mg of 7-benzoylbenzofuran-5-ylacetic acid in 5 ml of methanol is added a 1 molar equivalent of potassium hydroxide in the form of a 0.1 N solution, thus, yielding a solution containing potassium 7-benzoylbenzofuran-5-ylacetate. A solution of 60 mg of calcium carbonate dissolved in the minimum amount of 1 N hydrochloric acid necessary to effect solution of the calcium carbonate is bufered with 150 mg of solid ammonium chloride followed by the addition of 5 ml of water. The thus obtained buffered calcium solution is then added to the solution of potassium 7-benzoylbenzofuran-5-ylacetate and the precipitate which forms is collected by filtration, washed with water and air dried to yield calcium 7-benzoylbenzofuran-5-ylacetate.
