Technology Process of Dipentylmercury

There total 4 articles about Dipentylmercury which guide to synthetic route it. The literature collected by LookChem mainly comes from the sharing of users and the free literature resources found by Internet computing technology. We keep the original model of the professional version of literature to make it easier and faster for users to retrieve and use. At the same time, we analyze and calculate the most feasible synthesis route with the highest yield for your reference as below:

synthetic route:

Reference yield: 87.0%

n-butylzinc iodide (34219-54-0) + bis(iodomethyl)mercury (4819-11-8) + copper(l) cyanide → dipentylmercury (10217-67-1)

Guidance literature:

With lithium chloride; In tetrahydrofuran; N,N-dimethyl-formamide; addn. of soln. of C4H9ZnI in DMF to soln. of CuCN (20 mmol) and LiCl (40 mmol) in mixt. of dry DMF and dry THF at -40°C; warming suspension to 0°C, cooling to -60°C after 5 min; addn. of (ICH2)2Hg (3 mmol) from powder funnel;; addn. of methanol after 15 h at -60°C; workup after warming to 0°C; purity 95% (impurities: 2% (C4H9)2Hg and 2% (C6H13)2Hg);;
