A kinetic study of additions of dialkylmagnesium compounds to a cyclopropene
Abstract
Addition of dialkymagnesium compounds in tetrahydrofuran to spiro[2.4]hept-1-ene is kinetically first order in each component; at 35.5 °C, relative rates of addition of R2Mg where, ethyl, isopropyl, and t-butyl are 1, 10.3,32, and 8, respectively.
