摘要

Preparation of alkyl trioxo rhenium compound comprises alkylating trioxo rhenium chloride, which is obtained by reacting a rhenium compound with a chlorinating agent, where the chlorinating agent forms a gaseous or insoluble reaction product. An independent claim is included for methyltrioxorhenium obtained by the above method.
