Mercury dimethyl, reaction

Mercury dimethyl undergoes single replacement reactions with several metals such as alkali and alkaline earth metals, zinc, aluminum, tin, lead and bismuth forming their corresponding dialkyls. [Pg.570]

The photooxidation of mercury alkyls is difficult to elucidate in that complicating reactions of mercury and the alkyl compounds themselves tend to obscure the simple oxidation of alkyl radicals. Martin and Noyes00 found that with mercury dimethyl they did not find formaldehyde to be a principal product of the photooxidation above 100°C. The reason is not obvious, but probably reflects the unsatisfactory nature of mercury dialkyls for studying the oxidation of alkyl radicals. [Pg.151]

The reactions of mercury dimethyl studied by Hartley, Pritchard, and Skinner 205 give yet another estimate of the heat of formation of methyl iodide. Mercury dimethyl reacts under suitable conditions with bromine and iodine (X) according to the equation,... [Pg.139]

The heat of formation of mercury dimethyl was deduced from a knowledge of the heat of this reaction when X=Br, together with a knowledge of the heat of formation of methyl bromide and that of mercuric bromide. This was then used with the heat of reaction when X = I to deduce... [Pg.140]

The mercury may be replaced from mercury dimethyl by sodium, magnesium, zinc, or aluminium under suitable condition with formation of organometallic compounds of these metals with mercury diethyd, the reaction takes place with sodium, magnesium, cadmium, beryllium, zinc, aluminium, bismuth, and tellurium with mercury di-n-propyl, the metals sodium, beryllium, zinc and aluminium react, and sodium also reacts with mercury di-n-octyl. [Pg.30]

A typical determination is that of Lossing and Tickner for the methyl radical. Methyl radicals were produced by the pyrolysis of mercury dimethyl diluted by helium, and the mass spectrum showed that only CH3, mercury, ethane and a trace of methane were formed. Sensitivity calibrations were obtained in the usual way for the stable substances, and then the net peak at mass 15, after subtraction of the contributions from mercury dimethyl, ethane and methane, was determined. At high temperatures of pyrolysis, where the methyl radicals were most abundant, the sensitivity for the mass 15 peak of the methyl radical could then be calculated on the basis of 100 % carbon balance. As discussed earlier, wall reactions may lead to appreciable disappearance of the radical under observation, and such effects must be taken into account when calculating the sensitivity of the apparatus. Corrections of these kinds were applied to the experiments described above when Ingold and Lossing discovered that part of the methane observed was produced by reaction in the ionization chamber. The smallest relative concentration of radicals which can be determined accurately i.e. where several species give rise to the... [Pg.299]

SuIfona.tlon, Sulfonation is a common reaction with dialkyl sulfates, either by slow decomposition on heating with the release of SO or by attack at the sulfur end of the O—S bond (63). Reaction products are usually the dimethyl ether, methanol, sulfonic acid, and methyl sulfonates, corresponding to both routes. Reactive aromatics are commonly those with higher reactivity to electrophilic substitution at temperatures > 100° C. Tn phenylamine, diphenylmethylamine, anisole, and diphenyl ether exhibit ring sulfonation at 150—160°C, 140°C, 155—160°C, and 180—190°C, respectively, but diphenyl ketone and benzyl methyl ether do not react up to 190°C. Diphenyl amine methylates and then sulfonates. Catalysis of sulfonation of anthraquinone by dimethyl sulfate occurs with thaHium(III) oxide or mercury(II) oxide at 170°C. Alkyl interchange also gives sulfation. [Pg.200]

The photolysis of 4-substituted 2,3-dimethyl-3-isoxazolin-5-ones has been studied. Irradiation in methanol or ethanol with a 100 W high-pressure mercury lamp through a Pyrex filter of a 4-phenylthio compound produced a semithioacetal (Scheme 5). In contrast, an H, Cl or OPh moiety gave no reaction. The use of alkylthio substitution gave similar products. Cyclic compounds yielded cyclic products (Scheme 5), and the photolysis of (29) in benzene... [Pg.14]

A mixture of 2-iodotoluene (8.78 g, 0.04 mol) and trimethyl phosphite (24.8 g, 0.20 mol) was placed in a 45-ml, double-jacketed silica reaction vessel. The mixture was degassed by flushing with dry nitrogen for 5 min and irradiated with a 450-watt Hanovia (Model 679A-10) high-pressure quartz mercury vapor lamp fitted with an aluminum reflector head. The lamp was placed 5 cm from the inner portion of the reaction vessel. The reaction temperature was maintained at 0°C by the circulation of coolant from a thermostatically controlled refrigeration unit. Irradiation was continued at this temperature for 24 h. At the end of this time, the volatile materials were removed with a water aspirator, and the residue was vacuum distilled (96 to 97°C/0.25 torr) to give the dimethyl 2-methylphenylphosphonate (7.28 g, 91%). [Pg.179]

Reactions of methoxycarbonylformonitrile, furonitrile and substituted benzoni-trile oxides (4-Me, 4-OMe, 3-OMe, 4-C1, 3-C1, 2,4-di-Cl, 4-F as substituents) with dimethyl 7-(diphenylmethylene)bicyclo[2.2. l]hept-2-ene-5,6-dicarboxylate led exclusively to exo cycloadducts 82 (R = C02Me, 2-furyl, substituted phenyl), which, on irradiation with a low-pressure mercury lamp, afforded 3-azabicyclo [4.3.0]nonadiene-7,8-dicarboxylates 83 as the only products. The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, followed by a photorearrangement, provides a new method for obtaining tetrahydro-27/ -pyridine derivatives from cyclopentadiene (245). [Pg.34]

The basic assumption is made in these calculations that the benzyl or phenyl radicals formed are removed in the hot zone only by recombination with methyl radicals. When dimethyl zinc is used, the apparent energy of activation for reaction (11) is negative indicating a loss of phenyl radicals in the hot zone by an additional process. The only species present which is absent when the mercury and cadmium alkyls are used is ZnCH3. The additional process by which phenyl radicals are lost is therefore probably... [Pg.211]

Based on the loss of dimethyl mercury kovcraI1 = 5.0 xlO13 exp(—49,900/RT) sec-1. Laurie and Long72 propose an alternate scheme in which reactions (1) and (2) are the only processes involving dimethyl mercury. On this basis they calculate kx = 1.9 x 1014 exp(—51,300/RT) sec-1. The methyl radicals released are assumed to undergo reactions (12) and (21), viz. [Pg.222]

The reduction is usually made in a multi-compartment electrochemical cell, where the reference electrode is isolated from the reaction solution. The solvent can be water, alcohol or their mixture. As organic solvent A,A-dimethyl form amide or acetonitrile is used. Mercury is often used as a cathode, but graphite or low hydrogen overpotential electrically conducting catalysts (e.g. Raney nickel, platinum and palladium black on carbon rod, and Devarda copper) are also applicable. [Pg.1007]

The cyclization process can be promoted by using a single electron transfer mediator. Electron transfer from the mediator generates the carbonyl radical-ion away from the electrode surface so that cyclization can occur before there is opportunity for a second electron transfer. Thus reduction of 16, R = Me, in dimethyl-forraaraide at mercury in the presence of tetraethylammonium fluoroborate leads only to conversion of the ketone function to the secondaiy alcohol. However addition of a low concentration of N,N-dimethyl pyrrolidinium fluoroborate alters the course of reaction and the cyclized tertiary alcohol is now formed. This pyrrolidinium salt is reduced at -2.7 V vs. see at mercuiy to yield a complex DMP(Hg5) which is thought to act as a single electron transfer mediator [94]. Cyclization can... [Pg.345]
