Procedure

A mixture of 1.72 g. of rhodium hydrous oxide (Rh[OH]3.H2O), 6 ml. of glacial acetic acid and 15 ml. of ethanol is heated under reflux for 24 hours. The reaction mixture is cooled, and the volatile components are removed by evaporation in vacuo to give the crude product. The crude product is purified by dissolving it in acetone, allowing the solvent to evaporate slowly and then filtering off the solid which precipitates.
