Peroxides of elements other than carbon. Part XIV. The mechanism of the autoxidation of organic compounds of lithium, magnesium, zinc, cadmium, and aluminium

摘要: The autoxidation of dimethylcadmium and diethylzinc is inhibited by galvinoxyl then initiated copper salts. inhibition less pronounced in the trimethyl- triphenyl-aluminium, could not be observed with 1-methylheptyl- or 1-naphthyl-magnesium bromide, butyl-lithium, probably because organometallic compounds react rapidly inhibitor. It concluded that these autoxidations proceed a free-radical chain mechanism which does involve long-lived oxygen complex.
