Polymer supporeted 'Magnesium(anthracene)': Effective in Forming Benzylic Grignard Reagents (via Electron Transfer Reactions)

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/c39880000652

A polymer supported 'magnesium(anthracene)' (4) has been prepared from the reaction in tetrahydrofuran (thf) of (1) with polystyrene bearing -9-CH2SiMe2(C14H9) groups (3); the green paramagnetic solid, containing dianion radical anion anthracene sites, yields Grignard reagents (>90percent) with benzylic halides in thf via electron transfer reactions, as does the model compound for the dianion sites, viz. (thf)2> (6).
