Technology Process of Hydroxymethylmercury

There total 7 articles about Hydroxymethylmercury which guide to synthetic route it. The literature collected by LookChem mainly comes from the sharing of users and the free literature resources found by Internet computing technology. We keep the original model of the professional version of literature to make it easier and faster for users to retrieve and use. At the same time, we analyze and calculate the most feasible synthesis route with the highest yield for your reference as below:

synthetic route:

Reference yield:

methylmercury(II) (22967-92-6) → methylmercury(II) hydroxide (1184-57-2)

Guidance literature:

With sodium hydroxide; In water; 1 M aq. soln. of CH3Hg(1+) was diluted by water to final concn. 0.33 M at pH 8.39 adjusting with 4 M NaOH; not isolated, detected by Raman spectrum;

Reference yield:

(CH3Hg)2(N-Ace-DL-Trp) → (CH3Hg)(N-Ace-DL-HTrp) + methylmercury(II) hydroxide (1184-57-2)

Guidance literature:

With H₂O; In water; formation of (CH3Hg)(N-Ace-DL-Trp) by hydrolysis;

Reference yield:

(CH3Hg)2(DL-Trp) → (CH3Hg)(HTrp) + methylmercury(II) hydroxide (1184-57-2)

Guidance literature:

With H₂O; In water; formation of (CH3Hg)(DL-Trp) by hydrolysis; hydrolysis yields a mixt. of tryptophan, (CH3Hg)(DL-Trp) and (CH3Hg)2(Trp); (CH3Hg)(DL-Trp) could not be isolated; detected by (1)H-NMR and (13)C-NMR;

upstream raw materials:

hydroxyl

dimethylmercury

methylmercury(II)

methylmercury(II) iodide

Downstream raw materials:

1-(HgCH₃)-2-(C₆H₅)-1.2-C₂B₁₀H₁₀
