Abstract

Method A-1.-The reaction procedure was the same except that potassium hydroxide was not used to separate the triethylborane. Instead the hexane phase was separated and the borane was distilled from it at reduced pressure (bp 56-57'at 220 mm.). Analysis of the residue showed an 85% yield of tetraethyllead. Method B.-The reaction flask was equipped with a 6-inch Vigreux column and downward-directed condenser for distillation at reduced ...
