Silver Nitrate → Acesulfame silver

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 30 mmol (5.148 g) of silver(I) nitrate in 30 ml of water was added to a solution of 30 mmol (6.037 g) of acesulfame-K in 30 ml of water. After addition was complete, the colorless precipitate formed was filtered off by suction and washed twice, each time with 10 ml of water. 88% of colorless acesulfame-silver crystals resulted. The reaction and subsequent workup as described above need not be carried out in the absence of light.
