Acetic Acid → Tetraethylammonium acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

An aqueous tetraethylammonium hydroxide solution (1 mol) was charged into a flask and, while the solution was cooled so as to maintain it at room temperature, acetic acid (1 mol) was added thereto to obtain a tetraethylammonium acetate salt. Thereafter, ethylene glycol was added as a solvent so as to be a predetermined concentration and then water was removed by evaporation using an evaporator to obtain a solution of 50% of tetraethylammonium acetate and 50% of ethylene glycol.
