A NOVEL, CONTINUOUS HIGH-YIELD SYNTHESIS OF GRIGNARD REAGENTS

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0022-328X(87)80384-4

A continuous process for the production of Grignard reagents, in particular, allylmagnesium chloride is described.The yield and purity of the Grignard reagent are both significantly higher then those normally obtained by use of conventional batch procedures.Disproportionation of the Grignard reagent to insoluble magnesium chloride presented the major technical problem in the process, though, of course, the yield of active "allyl" is uneffected.
