For example, treatment of methyl acrylate with mercuric acetate in methanol gives an ?-- mercuri ester:
2.
Treating fluorescein mercuric acetate with arsenic trichloride and palladium acetate under the inert atmosphere goes through the transmetallation to give a yellow solution.
3.
In the first step, fluorescein is treated with mercury oxide and tetrafluoroacetic acid to produce fluorescein mercuric acetate, a yellow orange solid upon the completion of purification.
