A previously unrecognized side reaction in the Reformatsky reaction has been identified in the reaction of heptanal with ethyl bromoacetate.The products are derived from the two isomeric heptanoates of the glycol 2-pentyl-3-hydroxynonanol, formed from 3 mol of heptanal under the presumed catalysis of the bromo zinc enolate.
