Abstract

Abstract The reaction of silver ion with methoxide ion in methanol or with ethoxide ion in ethanol at 25°C affords highly unstable intermediates (presumably the silver alkoxides) which decompose rapidly to give metallic silver and unidentified oxidation products. Silver salts of tert-butyl alcohol and phenol decompose somewhat more slowly, while phenols with electron-withdrawing groups afford stable silver salts.
