Evidence against alkyl dimer formation through SN2 processes in Wurtz reactions of alkyl iodides with sodium in 1,2-dimethoxyethane: bineopentyl from neopentyl iodide
Abstract
In reactions of alkyl iodides in 1,2-dimethoxyethane with sodium at ca. 22°, alkyl dimer formation through conventional SN2 processes is ruled out by the finding that there is no discrimination against the formation of bineopentyl from neopentyl iodide.
