Abstract
1) An organomercury compound with the same Rf value on the thin-layer chromatogram as methylmercuric hydroxide was detected in the mixtures of acetaldehyde and mercuric oxide or basic mercuric sulfate. When chloride was added to the above mixtures, an organomercury compound having the same Rf value as methylmercuric chloride was formed.2) The reaction of acetaldehyde and mercuric oxide yielded two mercury compounds as crystals. One of them was identified as mercuric acetate by IR spectrum, elementary analyses, melting point determination and chemical properties. Methylmercuric chloride was extracted from the mixture of mercuric acetate and sodium chloride into chloroform and recrystallized from ethanol.
