Abstract

Abstract: In the presence of manganese chloride (10%), Grignard reagents readily react in THF with aryl bromides, chlorides and even fluorides, as well as aryl methyl ethers bearing in the ortho-or para-position an electron withdrawing activating group (CN, CH= NR, oxazoline). Aryl and N-or S-alkylmagnesium halides have been used successfully. The reaction is performed under mild conditions (0 C to room temperature, 30 minutes to 24 ...
