Quenching grignard reactions
« on: August 01, 2007, 07:33:27 AM »
Hi,

Does anybody have experience of quenching the product of a grignard reagent with CO2 with dimethylsulphate? This way I could miss out having to work up the acid and access the methyl ester directly....

neat idea, nasty reagent though. what about throwing in some MeI, with or without some Cs2CO3/DMF to get things solvated?
