Abstract

Researches on rearrangements being conducted in this Laboratory required a variety of compounds containing the grouping K3CC (OH) RL. 2 in which R represents various alkyl groups and R'represents alkyl or hydrogen. The preparation of these substances by means of the Grignard reaction presented two uncertainties,(1) the decreased yield of Grignard reagents of higher molecular weight especially from tertiary halides which lost! halogen ...
