Lead methyl

In a similar manner to tin, the production of Me4Pb arising from an incubation or similar experiment involving Me3Pb+ cannot be taken as conclusive evidence for a lead methylation.

The tbllowTBg bodies are ol)tained in a similar manner, the yields being indicated lead trim ethyl n-hutyl (80 ] >er cent.,) lead frimethyl isohutyl (DO ]>er cetit.) lead trmethyl isoamyl (80 per cent.). Substituting lead triethyl chloride or bromide for the trimethyl compound, the following are isolated lead methyl triethyl (90 per cent.) lead triethyl n propyl (95 per cent.) lead triethyl isobutyl (92 per cent.) lead triethyl isoamyl (94 per cent.). 

Lead methyl ethyl n-propyl n-butyl.—Lead dimethyl ethyl n-propyl is brominated at —75° C., when one methyl group is split off and the bromide formed. The latter is then treated with n-butyl magnesium bromide, the above compound being obtained in 90 per cent, yield. It has B.pt. 103° C, at 13 mm. density 1-5068 at 23-5° C. Ub 1-5072 nF -nc 0-01607 at 22-4° C. 

Lead ethyl n-propyl n-butyl isoamyl is obtained in 75 per cent, yield by treating the bromination product of lead methyl ethyl u-propyl n-butyl with isoamyl magnesium chloride. It boils at 144° C. at 14 mm. density, 1-3699 at 23-3° C. np 1-5028 at 21-5° C. iiF- na 0-01473,... 

Lead methyl ethyl dichloride.—Twenty grams of lead trimethyl ethyl in 100 c.c. of ethyl acetate are chlorinated at —75° C., whereby the monochloride is obtained. This on chlorination without cooling yields the dichloride in quantitative yield. It is fairly soluble in warm water and alcohol and crystallises on cooling in hair-fine needles, which are not so well formed as those of lead dimethyl or diethyl dichlorides. 

Lead n-propyl isoamyl dichloride is obtained from lead methyl n-propyl isoamyl chloride, and crystallises from hot alcohol, in which it is easily soluble, in plates, insoluble in benzene, ether, ethyl acetate, or water. The mlphide may be obtained in the usual way, and it is readily soluble in alcoliolic ammonium sulphide, sparingly in aqueous ammonium sulphide.

The other concern in the 1970s and 1980s was whether or not inorganic lead could be biomethylated naturally, as in the case of mercury. In view of the bulk amounts of organoleads being used anyway at the time, this was not likely to be a key consideration in urban areas, but in pristine locations, natural lead methylation and transport might in some circumstances have led to environmental problems. In fact, there has not been any clear demonstration of such methylation, and it is unlikely to be a big environmental problem. Where organic lead compounds are detected in the remote environment, they are at very low levels, probably accountable by transport of these species. Evidence is considered in the next section. 

It is known that, when certain metal compounds are present in air at concentrations above the levels of homeostatic regulation, they can act as a health hazard. The most common metals and metal compounds that can be found in the indoors atmosphere, are mainly those of antimony, lead, (methyl) mercury, and cadmium, which can exist in plastics as additives (mostly found and used as stabilisers). These are believed to disrupt the endocrine system by causing problems in steroid production. The fate of these metal and metal ions has been more extensively studied for the lead and lead-based compounds, however, other metals have been studied much less than others.
