Compound Q&A
How is Zinc dibenzoate (CAS: 553-72-0) typically synthesized?
Answer
Zinc dibenzoate is typically synthesized by reacting zinc acetate with benzoic acid in an organic solvent. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions, with a yield of up to 90%. Catalysts such as p-Toluenesulfonic acid are often used to improve the reaction rate and product purity. The product is then purified by recrystallization.
