Procedure

128g of cyclohexylcarboxylic acid was added to a three dm3 flask containing 400 cm3 of methanol and 600 cm3 of water. This mixture was stirred whilst 12.2 g of magnesium metal were added over a period of one hour. The mixture was left stirring overnight, during which time most of the magnesium had been consumed and a white precipitate of magnesium cyclohexylcarboxylate was produced. The flask was then warmed to 60° C. with stirring and the precipitate dissolved to give a clear solution. The clear solution was filtered (leaving behind about 0.5 g of magnesium) the filtrate was set aside to crystallise. Two crops of crystals were recovered having a total weight, after drying, of 125 g. The magnesium cyclohexylcarboxylate was dried in an oven for 2 hours at 120° C., and then stored under nitrogen. This will be identified as MgCR.
