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
