Abstract

A mechanism is proposed to account for the nature and the variations in yields of products from reactions of Grignard reagents with halogenated o-quinol acetates. ... The mechanisms by which carbanionoid reagents react with unsaturated carbonyl compounds are of great current interest.l The factors that determine whether polar or single electron transfer (SET) processes will occur, or what reactions may follow initial SET, are far from well defined. In earlier ...
