Lauric Acid → Silver laurate

Participants

Reaction Steps

An aqueous solution prepared by dissolving 0.8 g of cetylethyldimethylammonium bromide in 100 ml of water was mixed with 100 ml of toluene and emulsified. To this emulsion there was added a solution prepared by dissolving 0.425 l g of silver nitrate in 10 ml of water to thereby form silver bromide in an emulsified state. To the silver bromide emulsion there was added an emulsion prepared by mixing a solution (prepared by dissolving 12 g of lauric acid in 100 ml of toluene) with a solution (prepared by dissolving 1.9 l g of sodium hydroxide in 100 ml of toluene), whereafter a solution prepared by dissolving 8.5 g of silver nitrate in 50 ml of water was added thereto to thereby form silver laurate. There was thus obtained a mixture wherein silver bromide was in intimate contact with silver laurate.
