Abstract

It has been shown that small amounts of some metallic halides exert a profound effect on the reactions of Grignard reagents with many compounds.'The present paper describes the results obtained when methyl-and ethylmagnesium bromides react with benzalacetophenone (chalcone) and benzophenone in the presence of ferric chloride, cuprous chloride, manganous chloride or cobaltous chloride. The structures of the ...
