Abstract

It is clear that the reduction which so frequently occurs in the Grignard reaction may be occasioned in several ways. It has long been known that aliphatic Grignard reagents can exercise a reducing action toward certain compounds; as a rule an unsaturated hydrocarbon is formed in addition to the reduction product.
