Direct synthesis of bis(acetylacetonato)nickel(II) dihydrate and isolation of α,α,β,β-tetra-acetylethane as the oxidation product of acetylacetone
Abstract
NiO(OH) undergoes a facile reaction with acetylacetone affording a very high yield of bis(acetylacetonato)nickel(II) dihydrate, [Ni(acac)2]·2H2O, and giving α,α,β,β-tetra-acetylethane as the oxidation product of acetylacetone.
