Abstract

42 oUnless otherwise stated, the reaction was carried out using an aldehyde or ketone, an organolithium or magnesium compound, and vanadium trichloride in a ratio of 1: l: l. bToluene was added to the mixture which was kept at-78 OC for 2 h after the addition of an aldehyde. cn-BuMgBr/VC13= 3: l. dn-BuMgBr/VC13= 2: l.'n-Butylvanadium species/R'CHO= 2: l./Room temperature. g The corresponding ketone was not obtained.
