Abstract

In some of the early work on organic arsenic compounds Cahours' reported the preparation of pentamethylarsine by the action of zinc dimethyl on tetramethylarsonium iodide. The evidence for the existence of this penta-alkylarsine was slight and the work has never been confirmed. Previous attempts in this Laboratory to prepare the analogous penta-alkyl nitrogen2 and phosphorus3 compounds by the action of alkali metal alkyls on the ...
