Reactions of metals with alcohols method

This method may be used only in the case of the most active metals, with the values of the standard electrode potential in the approximate range 

One of the modem methods is associated with the application of pyrophoric metals formed, for examle, as a result of low-temperature gas phase codeposition with toluene vapor (MVS-metal vapor synthesis) [757], 

Liquid ammonia may aso be used as a solvent in reactions of metals with alcohols, such as 

This reaction is especially important for the synthesis of the derivatives of higher unsaturated and polyatomic alcohols [1644, 313], 

Reactions of metals with alcohols may frequently be accelerated by amalgamation with mercury or its salts

In principle, all the methods described in Chapter 2 have been applied for the preparation of the alkoxides of this group. The direct reaction of metals with alcohols (method 1) can be carried out only for the first members of the...
