Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Diethanolamine (0.33 g) was dissolved in water (5 ml) and an ether solution (20 ml) containing the benzoylacetic acid (0.54 g) was added thereto. Next, while stirring the obtained mixture at 15° C., a solution (5 ml) containing silver nitrate (0.51 g) was added dropwise thereto and further stirred for 15 minutes. The precipitated light-yellow precipitate was filtered out, thereby obtaining silver benzoylacetate (yield: 0.79 g).
