FACILE MAGNESIATION OF CARBON BROENSTED ACIDS WITH ELECTROPHILIC, DONOR-FREE ALKYLMAGNESIUM COMPOUNDS

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0022-328X(85)80378-8

A solution of n-butyl (s-butyl)magnesium in an alkane reacts readily between 25 and 110 deg C with a series of carbon Broensted acids to produce the corresponding unsolvated diorganomagnesium derivatives in excellent yields.Such facile magnesiations provi
