Abstract

The Grignard reaction of the methyl ethers (I and III) of 3-bromotropolone and those (II and IV) of 3-chlorotropolone with methylmagnesium iodide or phenylmagnesium bromide were investigated. When I or II was allowed to react with methylmagnesium iodide, 2- methoxyphenyldimethylcarbinol (V) and 2-methoxy-6-isopropylphenol (VI) were obtained. The reaction of I or II with phenylmagnesium bromide afforded 2-phenyl-7-halotropones ( ...
