In this video I carry out the preparation of mercuric acetate Hg(CH3COO)2 from mercuric oxide and 50% acetic acid as described in the Handbook of Preparative Inorganic Chemistry pages 1120 - 1121. The product is recrystallized from warm ethyl acetate. This prep is rather dangerous and the final product is definitely dangerous as it readily flakes and produces dust that is freely soluble in water. Mercuric acetate is very toxic and has a health rating of 4 on the fire diamond which is as high as it goes. The compound is very useful for carrying out the addition of OH to alkenes with Markovnikov regiochemistry but without all those pain in the ass rearrangements. Be good out there you naughty kids. ;-)
