Calcium vapor (atom) when cocondensed with various solvents at 77 K was found to be very reactive toward alkyl and aryl halides.A series of organocalcium halides was prepared in good yields by addition of alkyl and aryl halides to the resultant calcium atom-solvent slurries at ambient temperatures.
