2 ctnims. (Cl. 75-1) This invention relatestoanimprovementinthe of lead alkyl compounds, higher yields of the production of lead alkyls by the reaction of alkyl lead alkyl compounds result, thepomposition is halides upon a lead sodium alloy, and more parmore completely decomposed during the reaction, ticularly to the alloys employed in such process. and agglomeration of the lead particles during 5 In the process as ordinarily practiced at the distillation is practically eliminated without re- 00 present time a lead sodium alloy consisting of quiring the use of a protective or dispersing agent. 90% lead and sodium is reacted with ethyl For example, when such composition of matter chloride to form a dry reaction mass containing is employed in the production of tetra ethyl lead,

The lead alkyl is recovered from the in the reaction mass at the completion of the remass by drowning in water and distilling out the action amounts to from 4% to 0%, both the yield lead alkyl by means of steam. By the use of such of tetra ethyl lead and the amount of undeprocess, employing ethyl chloride, yields of from composed composition depending upon the 83%, to 85% of tetra ethyl lead have been obamount of magnesium present in the composition tained in the laborat ry. wi amounts about employed.
