Promoting nontransition metal alkylation with organic halides in the presence of binary systems based on an organometallic compound and a transition metal compound: V. Effect of the nature of the transition metal compound in the binary system on the rate of a steady-state process

Аннотация

The example of alkylation of commercial zinc and cadmium powders with organic halides in the presence of binary systems comprising an organometallic and a transition metal compounds was used to show that the nature of the transition metal compound in the binary system strongly affects the rate of a steady-state process. Therewith, the significant factors are both the nature of the transition metal and the ligand composition. It was found that the activity of the binary systems correlates with the activity of the transition metal compound in the transmetalation reaction with the organometallic component of the binary system (reduction of the transition metal compound).
