Thermal hazard evaluation of organometallic compound synthesis by reaction calorimetry

Ten reactions of synthesis of organometallic compds. were assessed by reaction calorimetry for thermal hazard under adiabatic conditions. The max. temps. of the studied reactions and adiabatic temperature rise were detd. The synthesis of cyclohexylmagnesium chloride and BuLi showed the highest sp. heats and highest max. temps. reached after 24 h under adiabatic conditions.
