Technology Process of Ethyl(methyl)mercury

There total 2 articles about Ethyl(methyl)mercury 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:

aluminium trichloride (7446-70-0) + Tetramethylblei-(IV) (75-74-1) + diethylmercury (627-44-1) → dimethylmercury (593-74-8) + methylethylmercury (29138-86-1) + triethyl-methyl plumbane (1762-28-3)

Guidance literature:

at 80 ℃;

Reference yield:

methylmercury(II) chloride (115-09-3) + sodium tetraethylborate (15523-24-7) → methylethylmercury (29138-86-1) + diethylmercury (627-44-1)

Guidance literature:

In tetrahydrofuran; hexane; for 0.0833333h; pH=4; Cooling with ice; Sealed tube;

DOI:10.1002/rcm.8453

Reference yield:

methylethylmercury (29138-86-1) → methylmercury(II) iodide (143-36-2) + ethylmercury (1+); iodide (2440-42-8)
