Methacrylic Acid → HCID 86744813, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.02 Grams of calcium (II) methoxide (0.01 mol) was weighed in a round bottom flask in a dry box. A mixture of 0.875 g of (0.01 mol) of methacrylic acid and 2.930 g (0.01 mol) of oleic acid was mixed in 19 g of dry tetrahydrofuran. This acid-mixture was introduced into a round bottom flask which was purged with argon. The contents were magnetically stirred overnight (20 hr) at ambient temperature. The volatile matter was then removed in vacuo (0.1 mm Hg) for 10 hours at room temperature. The resulting solid was analyzed for its metal content.
