Dimethyl ether of acyclic polyethers, Me(OCH2CH2)nOMe, predominantly coordinated to MgX2 in an ether solution of Grignard reagent and the MgX2 adduct was removed as a precipitate. Consequently, an ethereal solution of pure R2Mg was obtained in reasonable yield. This method is more convenient than those known general.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
