Abstract

" Yields by GLC. bIsolated yields. c53% Coupled product by GLC. emental analysis indicates that the alloy makes up approximately 85% of the mixture. 12 Treatment of the alloy with 1 equiv of I2 to leach out the majority of the lithium produces a very reactive cadmium metal powder. This metal will react with alkyl and aryl halides, yielding organocadmium reagents.
