In general, good yields of anilides were obtained when solutions of the Grignard reagents were treated with phenyl isocyanate; therefore, cleavage of 4-methyl-l,3-dioxane, a cyclic formal, by the Grignard reagents could not have occurred in appreciable amount.Further studies of 4-methyl-l,3-dioxane and similar compounds as solvents for the preparation and reactions of Grignard reagents are anticipated.
SummarySolutions of several aliphatic and aromatic halides in 4-methyl-l,3-dioxane reacted with magnesium to produce good yields of Grignard reagents. Rochester, N. Y.
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.
