n-Butylmercuric chloride is an organic mercury salt that is used as a catalyst and a precursor to other oganomercuric compounds. [1]
n-Butylmercuric chloride is made by reacting n-butylmagnesium bromide with mercury chloride. [1]
It can also be prepared by reacting 1-butene with mercury acetate. [2]
