A wide range of metal alkyls has now been prepared electrochemically 1-3. In general, the synthetic procedures involve the electrochemical generation of radicals, either by the reduction of alkyl halides or the oxidation of carbanionic species, at a sacrificial metal electrode. Much of the effort in

The reduction of methyl, ethyl, n-propyl and n-butyl iodides has been studied at a tin cathode in dimethylformamide. The major product from the reduction of methyl iodide is tetramethyl tin but from ethyl, propyl and butyl iodides it is butane, hexane and oxtane respectively. Also as the size of the
