N-Butyl iodide

The small capacity apparatus is especially recommended for the use of students the consumption of iodine by a large class of students is not unreasonably high. Larger apparatus, e.g., 60 ml. and 100 ml. capacity holding 100 g. and 200 g. respectively of iodine, are generally preferred for routine preparations of alkyl iodides the bolt-head flask should then be of 250 or 500 ml. capacity. Thus for n-butyl iodide a typical preparation would employ 120 g. (148-5 ml.) of n.butyl alcohol, 21 75 g. of red phosphorus, and 200 g. of iodine. 

Ethyl S-n-butyl xanthate. Use 32 g. of potassium ethyl xanthate, 37 g. (23 ml.) of n-butyl iodide (Section 111,40) and 50 ml. of absolute ethyl alcohol. Reflux on a water bath for 3 hours. Pour into 150 ml. of water, saturate with salt (in order to facilitate the separation of the upper layer), remove the upper xanthate layer, wash it once with 25 ml. of saturated salt solution, and dry with anhydrous calcium chloride or anhydrous calcium sulphate. Distil from a 50 ml. Claisen flask under reduced pressure. Collect the pale yellow ethyl S-n-butyl xanthate at 90-91°/4 mm. The yield is 34 g.

The experimental kinetic data obtained with the butyl halides in DMF are shown in Fig. 13 in the form of a plot of the activation free energy, AG, against the standard potential of the aromatic anion radicals, Ep/Q. The electrochemical data are displayed in the same diagrams in the form of values of the free energies of activation at the cyclic voltammetry peak potential, E, for a 0.1 V s scan rate. Additional data have been recently obtained by pulse radiolysis for n-butyl iodide in the same solvent (Grim-shaw et al., 1988) that complete nicely the data obtained by indirect electrochemistry. In the latter case, indeed, the upper limit of obtainable rate constants was 10 m s", beyond which the overlap between the mediator wave and the direct reduction wave of n-BuI is too strong for a meaningful measurement to be carried out. This is about the lower limit of measurable... 

Quite similar results have been found recently in the reaction of the cobalt(i) form of vitamin B,2 (Bus) with alkyl halides with n-butyl iodide, bromide and chloride, ethyl bromide and benzyl chloride the representative data point of vitamin B s falls several orders of magnitude above the outer sphere dissociative electron-transfer line (Walder, 1989).
