Conclusions

A study was made of the composition of the gaseous products that are formed when zero-valent Co and Ni, complexed with C2H5MgBr, are reacted with C2H5Br, and it was shown that the latter is decomposed quantitatively to give ethane and ethylene in an equimolar ratio, and a certain amount of butane. The formation of the reaction products is not related to the development of free radical steps in solution.
