Dl-N-Allylcamphoramic acid

A) Preparation of dl-N-( Chloromercuri-p-Methoxy)-Propylcamphoramic Acid A suspension of 31.9 g (= 0.10 M) of mercuric acetate in 25 ml of methanol is stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature in a 4-necked flask equipped with stirrer, dropping funnel, drying tube and thermometer. To this suspension is added dropwise and with stirring, a solution of 23.9 g (= 0.10M) of dl-N-allylcamphoramic acid in 65 ml of methanol over a period of 30 minutes. The temperature of the reaction mixture should not rise over 30°C. The stirring is continued for one hour. The reaction mixture is allowed to stand at room temperature overnight in the dark to complete the reaction. A solution of 5.9...
