Technology Process of Tetramethyllead

There total 52 articles about Tetramethyllead 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: 70.0%

bis(η5-cyclopentadinyl)dihydridomolybdenum + acetatotrimethyl-lead → μ-diacetatoplumbio-bis[bis(η-cyclopentadienyl)hydrido-molybdenum](2Pb-Mo) + Tetramethylblei-(IV) (75-74-1)

Guidance literature:

In not given; byproducts: CH4; Pb deriv. diffused through a glass frit was added under N2 to an equimolar amt. of Mo hydride in acetone or toluene; a progressive color changefrom yellow to red occured, after 1 h violet crystals pptd.; identified by elem. anal., IR, NMR spectra and single crystal X-ray diffraction;

Reference yield: 70.0%
