Phenyl derivatives of mercury functionalised in the 2-position with either a formyl or a vinyl group. Crystal structures of Hg[C6H4(CHO)-2]Cl and Hg[C6H4(CH=CH2)-2]2

A convenient preparation of Hg[C6H4(CH2OH)-2]Cl (1) involves treatment of dilithiated benzyl alcohol with HgCl2. 1 is smoothly oxidised to Hg[C6H4(CHO)-2]Cl (2) by reaction with pyridinium
