Procedure

To a reaction flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer, thermometer was charged 12.0 g (0.070 mole) of neodecanoic acid, 60 g of 0.1N sodium hydroxide. Silver foil was used as the anode and a graphite rod as the cathode. After passing 5,590 coulombs of direct current, 3.47 g (0.032 mole) of silver was consumed. A black sticky material was obtained after removal of the aqueous phase. This material was tertiurated with acetone and gave a black crystalline solid containing 25.0% silver. From the acetone was obtained a white solid containing 28.0% silver.
