Title: tebbe's reagent from aldrich
Post by: excimer on August 03, 2007, 12:54:24 AM

Has anyone used Tebbe reagent from Aldrich for alkenylations of ketones? Is it any good? I'd rather not make it myself but if the commercial stuff is crap I will.

I never have, but a labmate did.  It worked okay, I guess.  I don't recall him complaining about it.

The really easy one to make is Petasis reagent.  I know that one works.
