Abstract
1. A study was made of the reaction of ethyllithium with titanium tetrachloride and with cobalt chloride at 20° in hydrocarbon solvents and also in presence of unsaturated hydrocarbons as acceptors of free radicals. 2. In the reaction of ethyllithium with cobalt chloride equimolecular amounts of ethane and ethylene are liberated; in the reaction with titanium tetrachloride only ethane is liberated, and ethylene is polymerized. In both of these cases the introduction of acceptors does not effect the composition of the reaction products. 3. The results indicate that the formation of ethane and ethylene is not associated with the occurrence of intermediate free-radical stages.
