Abstract

Summary The pronounced effectiveness of benzylalkali compounds in some interconversion reactions of organometallic compounds made desirable im. proved and convenient directions for the preparation of benzyl types. Benzylpotassium, now available for the first time in workable quantities, is readily prepared in 82% yield from toluene, chlorobenzene and potassium. Benzylsodium can be obtained in 80% yield by heating p-tolylsodium ( ...
