Abstract
The autoxidation of triethylbismuth in cyclohexane at 25 °C produces as major products ethanol, acetaldehyde, and a solid suggested to be Bi2O3 with oxygen atoms randomly replaced by =CHCH3 or —CH2CH2— groups. Minor products include diethyl peroxide, diethyl ether, acetic acid, and probably ethylene. The reaction is strongly inhibited by diphenylamine and a radical chain reaction is proposed to account for the observed products.
