Hugh V* Saizberg, Instructor TEE CITY COLLEGE Xtepartcaeat of Cbmtstry Convent Avenue end 159th street Xev York 31# i*ev York Dear Iit, salaberg: As requested In your recent letter to our Hew York office. ve have shipped to your attention a 50 gram sample of commercially pure tetraetiiyliead. In accordance with our safety regulations, we are enclosing a booklet pertaining to our precautions for handling organic lead compounds in laboratories and a release concerning the use of the material* Would you kindly sign and return the latter to us promptly. In reply to your question in the last sentence of your letter I do not believe that tetraethyllead will react with aqueous alkali under normal conditions; however, in the presence of sunlight this material will decompose producing metallic lead which can react. If in the future we may be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to advise us accordingly. Very truly yours. et h y l ccsmmmim Process Development 3nc: 2 K 0008815
