Trichloroacetic Acid → HCID 86738712, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The operation is conducted as in example 1, while reacting: 100 cm3 of heptane, 25 cm3 of water, 5.75 g of 2-ethyl hexanoic acid (4×10-2 mole), 6.55 g of trichloroacetic acid (4×10-2 mole), 3.20 g of sodium hydroxide (8×10-2 mole) and 14.05 g of nickel sulfate heptahydrate (5×10-2 mole). A green solid is obtained (10.8 g), which is identified as being nickel 2-ethyl hexanoate trichloroacetate (yield: 74.2%). Elemental analysis: calculated for C10H15O4Cl3Ni: C=32.9; H=4.1; Ni=16.2; found (%) C=37.5; H=5.7; Ni=15.2. Infra-red spectrum: characteristic bands at 1655 cm-1 (CCl3COO), 1570 and 1410 cm-1 (C7H15COO), 845 and 835 cm-1 (CCl3).
