Technology Process of Sodium amalgam

There total 4 articles about Sodium amalgam 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:

sodium (7440-23-5) + ethylmercury(II) chloride (107-27-7) → sodium amalgam (11110-52-4,11146-94-4)

Guidance literature:

In ammonia; byproducts: NaCl, C2H6, NaNH2; treatment of C2H5HgCl in liquid NH3 with excess of Na;;
