Title: Organomagnesium reaction. Work-up
Post by: cundi on August 17, 2011, 10:08:40 AM

Hi,
Could you recomended me any work-up for an organomagnesium addition to ketones?

After the hydrolysis, I have obtained a lot of Mg salts which make the work-up much more difficult than usual.

Thank you in advance for your help.

A little dilute HCl should clear that right up.
