Participants

Reaction Steps

1.8 g (9.8 mmol) copper(II) acetate is dissolved in 100 ml hot methanol, and a solution of 1.5 g (20 mmol) glycine in 50 ml methanol is added with stirring. The solution becomes turbid due to precipitation of the product. Stirring is continued for two hours at a temperature causing precipitation. The precipitated product is filtered off and dried.
