Baker's Dimercurial

[ANATRAC434 at aol.com]

April 18, 1995



A colleague has inquired about the availability of Baker's
dimercurial(1,4-diacetoxymercuri-2,3-dimethoxybutane).  We are a
small company that could prepare this reagent if others are also
interested.  If so, please let me know.  In addition, does any
one have tips on the synthesis and/or purification? I have the
old references dating from 1941 to 1961.
