Promoting non-transition metal alkylation with organic halides in the presence of binary systems based on an organometallic compound and a transition metal compound: VII. Additional details of the mechanism

详细

Mechanism of metals alkylation with an organic halide in the presence of binary systems has been defined in more detail. It has been shown that the passivating film on the surface of zinc and cadmium is partially preserved in the course of the process, and the reaction in diethyl ether is decelerated due to the competitive adsorption of the organyl halide and diethyl ether on the surface of the reacting metal. The ratelimiting stages of the studied alkylation process have been elucidated basing on the experimental data on the effect of the reagents (organyl halide and alkylated metal) nature on the rate of the steady-state reaction and modeling of the suggested catalytic cycle.
