Bartmann, Ekkehard
, p. 149 - 158 (1985)
Transition metal complexes obtained by reduction of transition metal chlorides with magnesium catalyze a slow insertion reaction of magnesium into carbon-oxygen bonds of tetrahydrofuran and other ethers.The order of reactivity of the transition metals tested is Ti ca.Co > V > Cr > Zr > Rh > Mn > Nb > Fe ca.Ni.The effects on the reaction of modifications of the catalysts are discussed.
