Page/Page column 6, (2008/06/13)
Production of metal-free, alkoxide-pure alkaline earth alkoxides involves use of an excess of an alcohol to effect alcoholytic alkoxide group exchange in solutions of optionally mixed alkoxides having shorter alkyl chains than the final product, the optionally mixed alkoxides being at least proportionately dissolved during the reaction. Production of metal-free, alkoxide-pure alkaline earth alkoxides of formula (I) involves alcoholysis of a solution of an optionally mixed alkoxide of formula (II) with an excess of an alcohol of formula (III), compound (II) being at least proportionately dissolved during the reaction.

In the presence of iodine, alcohols react with magnesium to produce magnesium alkoxides which are then treated with benzyl chloride or allyl bromide to produce benzyl alkyl ethers or allyl alkyl ethers.
