Abstract

The Preparation of 3,3 '-Dibromobiphenyl and its Conversion to Organometallic Compounds ... BY HR SNYDER, CLAY WEAVER^.^ AND CLIFFORD D. MARSHALL ... Although the reactions of various dibromo- biphenyls with rnagnesi~rn~~~ and with an alkyl- lithium6 have been reported, 3,3'-dibromobiphenyl appears to have escaped such investigation.
