Abstract
An electrochemical synthesis of copper(II) carboxylates has been developed and used in the general chemistry laboratory course for chemistry majors. This synthesis, using nonaqueous solutions, supplements the strategy of providing experiences in synthetic chemistry described by Yoder et al. (J. Chem. Educ. 1995, 72, 267).
Supplement
Instructions for the students and notes for the instructor are available.
