Description

Copper acetate is a chemical compound that is composed of copper and acetic acid. Copper acetate monohydrate, the form used in this product, is an ionic salt that has the chemical formula Cu(CHCO)2. The copper atom has a coordination geometry of 4.5 and is surrounded by six oxygen atoms and two hydrogen atoms. The reaction mechanism for this compound involves methyl ethyl malonic acid as shown below:

The first step in the reaction mechanism is the formation of a carbanion intermediate with the loss of a proton from one of the methyl groups on malonic acid. This carbanion attacks the copper atom to form an intermediate with two positive charges on it, which then breaks down into two molecules of malonic acid and one molecule of water. The other methyl group then reacts with another molecule of malonic acid to form methyl ethyl dicarboxylate and release another proton. This proton can be accepted by water or react with
