Thallium ethylate

The reaction is a sensitive one, but is subject to a number of interferences. The solution must be free from large amounts of lead, thallium (I), copper, tin, arsenic, antimony, gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, and from elements in sufficient quantity to colour the solution, e.g. nickel. Metals giving insoluble iodides must be absent, or present in amounts not yielding a precipitate. Substances which liberate iodine from potassium iodide interfere, for example iron(III) the latter should be reduced with sulphurous acid and the excess of gas boiled off, or by a 30 per cent solution of hypophosphorous acid. Chloride ion reduces the intensity of the bismuth colour. Separation of bismuth from copper can be effected by extraction of the bismuth as dithizonate by treatment in ammoniacal potassium cyanide solution with a 0.1 per cent solution of dithizone in chloroform if lead is present, shaking of the chloroform solution of lead and bismuth dithizonates with a buffer solution of pH 3.4 results in the lead alone passing into the aqueous phase. The bismuth complex is soluble in a pentan-l-ol-ethyl acetate mixture, and this fact can be utilised for the determination in the presence of coloured ions, such as nickel, cobalt, chromium, and uranium. 

A. trans-l,2-Cyclohexanediol. In a 100-ml., round-bottomed flask equipped with a reflux condenser protected with a drying tube are placed a magnetic stirring bar, 17.56 g. (0.0667 mole) of thallium (I) acetate (Note 1), and 40 ml. of dried acetic acid (Note 2). The mixture is stirred and heated at reflux for 1 hour. To the cooled mixture are added 2.84 g. (3.5 ml., 0.0346 mole) of cyclohexene (Note 3) and 8.46 g. (0.0333 mole) of iodine (Note 4). The resulting suspension is stirred and heated at reflux for 9 hours (Note 5), and then cooled to room temperature. The yellow precipitate of thallium(I) iodide is filtered and washed thoroughly with ethyl ether. The filtrates are comhined, the solvents are removed under reduced pressure with a rotary evaporator (Note 6), and the residual liquid is dissolved in dry ethyl ether. The turbid solution is dried with anhydrous potassium carbonate, and the solvent is again removed by rotary evaporation (Note 6), affording 5.4-6.3 g. of trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol diacetate as a mobile, brown liquid (Note 7).

Goswami and Sarkar3 claimed to have prepared methyl and ethyl fluoroformates by the action of thallium fluoride on the corresponding chloroformates. These fluoroformates were described as powerful lacrimators. We found that no appreciable reaction took place between potassium fluoride and ethyl chloroformate in boiling carbon tetrachloride or nitrobenzene. Ethyl fluoroformate could, however, be readily produced by the action of potassium fluoride on ethyl chloroformate by using the autoclave technique. It was found not to have the lacrimatory properties claimed for it, and was non-toxic in comparison with M.F.A. This non-toxicity was to be expected, as the fluoroformate contains the COF and not the CH2F- group. 

Method A A solution of 0.5 mmol of (2/ /S ,3R/S )-2,3-dialkyl-1,4-diarylbutane and 0.125 mL (1.0 mmol) of boron trifluoride-diethyl ether complex in 2 mL of trifluoroacctic acid is added to a suspension of 0.12 g (0.26 mmol) of thallium(III) oxide in 2 mL of trifluoroacetic acid at — 40°C to +25CC under an argon atmosphere. The dark colored solution is stirred until the reaction is complete, diluted with ethyl acetate, then washed successively with water (twice) and sat. aq NaCl. Evaporation of the dried extract gives the crude product. In a variant of this method the boron trifluoride-diethyl ether complex can be omitted. 

There have been a few research papers reporting the use of other vapour generation techniques to volatilize analytes that form unstable hydrides, or had previously been thought not to form vapours at room temperature. Examples include the use of sodium tetraethylborate to form volatile ethyl compounds of cadmium, lead and thallium. 

R3T1 compounds, eg, methyl [3003-15A], ethyl [687-82-1], isobutyl [3016-08-8], and phenyl [30034)4-1] thallium(III), are usually prepared by the reaction between a dialkyl or diarylthallium halide and an oiganolithium reagent in ether (16) ... 

The higher acidity of pyrroles and indoles bearing electron-withdrawing substituents at the a- or /3-positions permits their alkylation under mildly basic conditions, but although the thallium salt of 2-formylpyrrole is Af-alkylated, the corresponding alkylation of the thallium salts of ethyl pyrrole-2-carboxylate yields a complex mixture of products resulting from iV-alkylation and transesterification (B-77MI30502). N-Alkylation of pyrrolyl and indolyl esters is most conveniently effected under phase-transfer conditions. 

An improvement in this synthesis results from the use of the thallium salt of f-butyl acetoacetate in place of ethyl acetoacetate, and ethyl methylmalonyl chloride may replace the diacyl dihalide (75S259).

Studies have also been carried out by mixing T1(CH3)3 with T1(C2HS)3 in which it is shown that rapid exchange occurs with the formation of the methyl ethyl derivatives 84). No clear attempt has been made to evaluate the mechanism of this reaction but it is certain that all of the mixed thallium derivatives can be prepared. Maher and Evans 82) also examined the...
