Description

Silver acetate is an inorganic compound with the empirical formula CH3CO2Ag (or AgC2H3O2). It is a photosensitive, white, crystalline solid. It is a useful reagent in the laboratory as a source of silver ions lacking an oxidizing anion. It has been used in some antismoking drugs.

Application

3 - 1 - Carbonylation Silver acetate, when combined with carbon monoxide (CO), can induce the carbonylation of primary and secondary amines. Other silver salts can be used but the acetate gives the best yield. 2 R2NH + 2 AgOAc + CO → [R2N]2CO + 2 HOAc + 2 Ag 3 - 2 - Hydrogenation Silver acetate in a solution of pyridine absorbs hydrogen and is reduced to metallic silver. 3 - 3 - Direct ortho - arylation Silver acetate is a useful reagent for direct ortho-arylation (to install two adjacent substituents on an aromatic ring) for of benzylamines and N-methylbenzylamines. The reaction is palladiumcatalized and requires a slight excess of silver acetate.This reaction is shorter than previous ortho-arylation methods.
