Conclusions
-
1.
The addition of mercuric acetate toα-ethoxyacrylic acid in alcohol medium proceeds with the formation of an inner salt, the Hg-C bond in which is foundβ to the carboxyl group.
-
2.
The methoxymercuration of acrylic and cinnamic acids leads to the formation of inner mercury salts in which the Hg-C bond isα to the carboxyl group.
