G. Arroyo et al., USE OF TRICARBONYL-(ETA(6)-PHENYL METHANOLS) OF CHROMIUM(0) FOR THE ESTIMATION OF ALKYLLITHIUM CONCENTRATION, Analytical communications, 34(5), 1997, pp. 155-157
Several chromium(0) tricarbonyl-(eta(6)-phenyl methanol) complexes hav
e been assayed for the routine quantitative determination of alkyllith
ium solutions. The results show that these reagent indicators offer an
alternative for the accurate quantification of alkyllithium concentra
tions providing values in agreement with published procedures. In addi
tion, of one of the chromophores was isolated and its structure charac
terized by H-1 NMR as methylated derivatives.
