The following reaction is obtained when we react acetyl chloride which is an acid chloride derived from acetic acid with dibenzyl cadmium which has a molecular formula C14H14Cd :
2CH3COCl + Cd(CH3)2 -------------------> 2CH3COCH3 + CdCl2
This reaction causes formation of acetone along with cadmium chloride. Cadmium chloride is a hygroscopic solid which is highly soluble in water but slightly soluble in alcohol.
why is (cdch3)2 added
instead of c12h12cd
