Abstract

Reaction of furan, thiophene, selenophene, and tellurophene as well as 2-methyl and 2, 5- dimethyl derivatives of the first two heterocycles with phenyl-, methyl-, and n-butyl- magnesium bromides in the presence of ligated nickel dichloride are shown to yield buta-1, 3-dienes mostly with retention of configuration.
