Isopropanol → Zinc i-propoxide, 99%

Participants

Reaction Steps

On Day 1, one kilogram of fine zinc chips with a catalyst is added to a magnetically stirred, 6.5-gallon flint glass carboy containing 15 liters of ultra-dry Isopropanol prepared in Example 2, and reacted at 110° F. to form zinc isopropoxide. Carbon dioxide is added as described in Example 4 to form isopropoxy zinc isopropyl carbonate (PZPC). On completion of the reactions, magnets are inserted to provide magnetic filtering, and the concentrates are maintained at 110° F. as described in Example 4.
