Abstract

In connection with studies concerned with the analysis of gases evolved in Grignard reactions it is necessary to know the nature and extent of gas evolution during the preparation of several typical organomagnesium halides. The present paper discusses some results obtained in the preparation of methyl-, ethyl-and n-butylmagnesium halides. It has long been known that in addition to the formation of RMgX compound in the reaction ...
