Benzene → HCID 14550424, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Scandium propionate (0.03 mol.), benzene (50 ml) and ethanol (10 ml) were placed in a round-bottomed flask of 100 ml-capacity, to which was then added slowly 0.6 g (0.09 mol.) of metallic lithium under stirring. After the addition of the metallic lithium, the admixture in the flask was refluxed for 1 hour by heating with aid of a mantle heater, and then the reaction solution was processed in the same manner as in Example 1 to afford 6.4 g of scandium ethoxide as a white colored crystal. Yield 95.6%
