Formic Acid → 2,6-Naphthalene dicarboxylic acid copper

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.40 g of 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid was dissolved under heating in a mixture solvent of 4000 cm3 of methanol and 5 cm3 of formic acid. After this solution was cooled to the normal temperature, into this solution under stirring, a further solution in which 3.00 g of formic acid copper was dissolved in 100 cm3 of methanol was dripped and then this was kept still for a few days. Thereafter, the precipitation product was suction-filtered and dried for 110° C./4 hours, whereby 0.35 g of 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid copper was obtained.
