Potassium hydroxide lithium alloys

Other reagents which have occasionally been used to cleave hydrazides include diborane (which also reduces the carbonyl groups), sodium naphthalenide, 0,0-diethyldithiophosphoric acid, (EtO)2PS2H, - and sulfur monochloride. Nickel-aluminum alloy in aqueous methanolic potassium hydroxide is a good reagent for reductively cleaving a number of N—N bonded compounds, such as A -methyl-A -phenylhydrazine and Af/Z-dimethylnitrosamine. - Nitrosamines have also been cleaved with titanium(IV) chloride-sodium borohydride and lithium aluminium hydride. 

French) or BROMOFORMO (Spanish) (75-25-2) CHBrj Noncombustible liquid. Violent reaction with chemically active metals, acetone, calcium, strong caustics, potassium, potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide. Increases the explosive sensitivity of nitromethane. Incompatible with crown polyethers, sodium-potassium alloys. Forms friction- and shock-sensitive compounds with lithium. Aqueous solution is a medium-strong acid. Liquid attacks some plastics, rubber, and coatings. Corrosive to most metals in the presence of moisture. Thermal decon osition products include highly toxic carbonyl bromide and hydrogen bromide fumes. On small fires, use dry chemical powder (such as Purple-K-Powder), foam, or COj extinguishers. 

EXPLOSION and FIRE CONCERNS nonflammable NFPA rating (not rated) explosive reaction with crown ethers or potassium hydroxide violent reaction with lithium, sodium-potassium alloy, acetone, or bases incompatible with metals, caustic alkali, and strong oxidants decomposition emits highly toxic gases and vapors (such as hydrogen bromide and bromine) use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray, fog or foam for firefighting purposes. 

Lithium which had been purified by filtration followed by gettering with titanium and yttrium at 753 K had a lower resistivity than metal purified by other methods. For the liquid, dp/dOc was positive but decreased with increasing temperature, whereas for the solid, the value increased with increasing temperature. The resistance of dissolved oxide and hydride impurities in eutectic alloys of sodium and potassium appears to be a complex function of the concentration of each impurity, which can be attributed to chemical interaction in the metal to form hydroxide. Dissolved hydride causes a considerable increase in the resistance of the alloy but hydroxide has a much smaller effect. Dissolved lithium hydride affects the resistance of the alloy more than does sodium or potassium hydride but, again, hydroxide, as lithium hydroxide, has a smaller effect. Information on the solubility of lithium salts in liquid lithium has been critically reviewed. Recommended solubilities are provided for solutions of oxide and nitride as...
