  "abstract": "The decay rates for the exclusive B decays $B \\rightarrow K \\eta_c $ and $B \\rightarrow K^* \\eta_c$ are calculated in the context of the heavy quark effective theory. We obtain $\\Gamma (B \\rightarrow K \\eta_c )/\\Gamma (B\\rightarrow K\\psi )=1.6 \\pm 0.2$ and $\\Gamma (B\\rightarrow K^*\\eta_c)/\\Gamma (B \\rightarrow K^*\\psi )=0.39 \\pm 0.04$. These results lead to estimates $BR(B \\rightarrow K \\eta_c)=(0.11 \\pm 0.02) \\% $ and $BR(B \\rightarrow K^* \\eta_c)= (0.05 \\pm 0.01) \\% $ if we use the central current experimental values for $B\\rightarrow (K,K^*)\\psi $ branching ratios.",
