Hexane → HCID 10442757, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The recovered manganese hydroxide was than placed into a beaker provided with a reflux condenser and Dean Stark water trap. 15.5 grams (0.105 Mole) glutamic acid was added. 100 ml hexane was thereafter added and stirred and boiled at atmospheric pressure for 3 hours. During the course of the reaction about 3.6-3.8 ml water was removed from the reaction media and acquired in the Dean Stark apparatus. The reaction mixture was then cooled and filtered yielding 21 grams of manganese glutamate. The product, manganese glutamate, was hygroscopic and requires handling in conditions to avoid absorption of moisture from the air by methods known for those skilled in the art.
