The pure active constituent of LIX 54, manufactured by Henkel Co. as an extractant for copper from ammoniacal aqueous solutions, has been isolated. Structural investigations using elemental analysis and spectroscopic techniques (1H-NMR, IR, MS) support the belief that this reagent is 1-phenyl-1, 3-decanedione. The keto-enol tautomerism of the reagent in different solvents has been discussed and quantified by means of UV-V and 1H-NMR spectroscopy.
