Abstract

Compared with tetrahydrofuran (THF) as a solvent for the addition reactions between Grignard reagents and carbonyl compounds 2-methyltetrahydrofuran affords the corresponding adducts in higher yields with higher chemoselectivities. Moreover, 2- methyltetrahydrofuran can be readily recycled and reused, which lowers the cost of the process and makes the reaction greener.
