Abstract

Schmidlin2 is probably correct in his belief that triphenylmethylmagnesium chloride is formed as an intermediate product and that it reacts subsequently with diphenylbromomethane. Indeed, we have now found that the most feasible method of preparing pentaphenylethane is to carry out the reaction in these two distinct steps:(a) preparation of triphenylmethylmagnesium halide, followed by (b) reaction of the Grignard ...
