To the reaction flask was charged 27.64 g (0.100 mole) of oleic acid, 10.0 g of mineral spirits and 80.0 g of 0.1N sodium hydroxide. A copper rod was used as the anode and a graphite rod as the cathode. 6,496 coulombs of electricity were passed and 2.30 g (0.030 mole) of copper was consumed. After isolation of the product, a green solution of copper oleate in mineral spirits containing 6% copper was obtained.
