silver acetate

Silver acetate has been used as a potential aid to help stop smoking.

The reaction is palladium-catalized and requires a slight excess of silver acetate.

Silver acetate can be used to convert certain organohalogen compounds into alcohols.

Silver acetate in combination with iodine forms the basis of the Woodward cis-hydroxylation.

Silver acetate, used as a pesticide.

Silver acetate is required to activate the palladium bromide precatalyst in the catalytic cycle.

Silver acetate for smoking cessation (Cochrane Review).

The reaction of the iodine with the alkene is promoted by the silver acetate, thus forming an iodinium ion (3).

Silver acetate can be synthesized by the reaction of acetic acid and silver carbonate at 45-60 C.

A solution of silver acetate in pyridine absorbs hydrogen, producing metallic silver:

Lozenges containing 2.5 mg of silver acetate showed "modest efficacy" on 500 adult smokers tested over a three-month period.

Low doses of silver acetate in mice produced hyper-excitability, ataxia, central nervous system depression, labored breathing, and even death.

The iodinium ion is opened via S2 reaction by acetic acid (or silver acetate) to give the first intermediate, the iodo-acetate (4).

Silver acetate, when combined with carbon monoxide (CO), can induce the carbonylation of primary and secondary amines.

The Woodward cis-hydroxylation is the chemical reaction of alkenes with iodine and silver acetate in wet acetic acid to form cis-diols.

In a more recent synthesis by M. Basato et al., silver acetate was reacted with platinum(II) chloride.

Silver acetate is a useful reagent for direct ortho-arylation (to install two adjacent substituents on an aromatic ring) for of benzylamines and N-methylbenzylamines.

The agency said several manufacturers of nonprescription smoking deterrents had discussed conducting possible clinical trials on lobeline sulfate and silver acetate, two ingredients found in several products.

The U.S. FDA recommends that silver acetate intake be limited to 756 mg over a short period of time; excessive intake may cause argyria.

Silver acetate is an inorganic compound with the empirical formula CHCOAg (or AgCHO).

In 1974, silver acetate was first introduced in Europe as an over-the-counter smoking-deterrent lozenge (Repaton) and then three years later as a chewing gum (Tabmint).

Among the ingredients listed were licorice root extract, menthol, cloves, coriander, eucalyptus oil, ginger, lemon oil, methyl salicylate, lobeline sulfate and silver acetate, he said.

He first treated "ethylene iodide" (CHI) with silver acetate and then hydrolyzed the resultant "ethylene diacetate" with potassium hydroxide.

A review of the literature in 2012, however, found no effect of silver acetate on smoking cessation at a six-month endpoint and if there is an effect it would be small.
