Procedure

The same procedure was repeated in this reaction except that 9.0 g (0.150 mole) of acetic acid, 60 g methanol and 0.30 g of tetraethylammonium chloride hydrate were used. Copper foil was used as the anode and a graphite rod as the cathode. After passing 15.984 coulombs of electricity, 4.80 g (0.076 mole) of copper was consumed. The reaction solution was filtered to remove the metallic particles and the solvent was removed at reduced pressure. This gave a blue-greenish solid of copper acetate containing 33.6% copper.
