The general part of the experimental section [1] has been presented elsewhere. To a stirred solution of (Z)-5-phenyl-2-penten-2-ylmercury bromide (3 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (40 ml) was added silver acetate (3 mmol) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature in the dark for 16 hours, filtered through Celite(TM) and the solvent was removed. The crude product was recrystallised from cyclohexane/light petroleum to yield (Z)-5-phenyl-2-penten-2-ylmercury acetate (78%) as colourless plates.
