Title: Grignard from MOM-CL
Post by: Alberto_Kravina on March 24, 2012, 06:18:10 AM
Hi everyone

I have a question: has anyone of you ever made the grignard reagent Me-O-CH2-Mg-X or some organolithium analogon?
Searching the literature I found only an old procedure which involves mercury, something I would like to avoid.
If anyone has ever heard of such a reagent or a suitable surrogate I'd be thankful for any suggestions

have a nice day
