Convenient preparation of lanthanide aryloxides from lanthanide nitrate polyether complexes and the crystal structure of [La(OC{sub 6}H{sub 3}Me{sub 2}-2,6){sub 3}(MeO(CH{sub 2}CH{sub 2}O){sub 4}Me)]

The application of lanthanide alkoxides and aryloxides are diverse, ranging from homogeneous catalysis of organic reactions to synthesis of high purity oxide materials. Preparative routes to alkoxides include reaction of the lanthanide metal with an appropriate alcohol, reaction of the anhydrous lanthanide chloride with an alkali metal alkoxide, and alcoholysis of lanthanide tris(dialkylamides), all of which require the use of starting materials which must be prepared and handled under strictly anhydrous and/or anaerobic conditions. While this is feasible on a laboratory scale, it is much less attractive if preparation on an industrial scale is required. In this paper, the authors describe the preparation of lanthanum and praseodymium acryloxides from lanthanide nitrate polyether complexes, which are easily prepared anhydrous starting materials.
