Abstract

Abstract: n-(2-MethoxyalIyI) nickeI bromide (1) has been synthesized and characterized for the first time. It is prepared in high yield by the reaction of 2-methoxyallyl bromide and nickel carbonyl or bis (1, 5-cyclooctadiene) nickel in benzene. It reacts with a variety of organic substrates including halides, ketones, and aldehydes to introduce the acetonyl functional group. These reactions proceed in high yield under mild conditions (25" in DMF) with high ...
