Sodium Bicarbonate → HCID 66769631, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(bis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphoryl)acetic acid (example 18b) (0.1 g, 0.25 mmol, 1 eq.) is suspended in distilled water (2 ml) and sodium hydrogencarbonate (21.0 mg, 0.25 mmol, 1 eq.) is added. A clear pale yellow solution is obtained. After removing the water in vacuo at room temperature, a pale yellow crystalline powder is isolated (Yield: quantitative). It is evident that the same procedure can be performed to synthesise other alkali salts of 2-(bis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphoryl)acetic acid from carbonates or hydrogen-carbonates (e.g. with potassium hydrogen carbonate, or lithium carbonate).
