Abstract

The closest approach to a successful preparation was achieved by treating silver oxalate with acetyl chloride, in ether, at temperatures of-5'or lower; separating the ethereal solution and removing its relatively volatile components by application of reduced pressure at the same low temperature. A colorless crystalline solid was obtained. Because of its method of preparation, its hydrolysis products, its thermal decomposition products, and its reaction ...
