Ethanol → Manganese Lysocellin

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6.5 g sodium lysocellin, 2.0 g manganese chloride and 100 ml of 90% ethanol was stirred and held at ambient temperature for 18 hours. Stirring was continued and water added slowly to precipitate a tacky semi-solid. Removal of the mother liquor by decantation and trituration of the residue with fresh water gave a filterable amorphous solid which was isolated and dried (6.4 g). The product had a melting point of 112.8° C. Analysis: Calculated % Mn (4.19); Found (3.75).
