Abstract

Recently, Bartlett and Berry3 have shown that dimethyl-and diethylmagnesium react with 1, 2-epoxycyclohexane to form when hydrolyzed the products trans-2-methyl-and trans-2- ethylcyclohexanol. The present paper presents the results obtained by extending the use of dialkylmagnesium as a reagent into the field of epoxyalkanes. The reactions of epoxyalkanes with Grignard reagents may be summarized as follows. Epoxyethane and ...
