grignard reaction
« on: December 09, 2007, 05:36:57 AM »
hey,
I have a question
is the following reaction possible?
C6H5Br+BrMgCCH = C6H5CCH+MgBr2

Your alkynyl Grignard reagent is expected to react with itself.

no, it will not react with itself. BrMgCCH is quite stabile reagent. some chemical companies provide it as solutions in some organic solvents.

Can you propose a reasonable mechanism?

Grignard aside, can you have nucleophilic aromatic substitution without any strong electron withdrawing groups?

This reagent must react with itself anyway! For avoiding this events needs to protect terminal triple bond with Me3Si- or other protective group. Then? this reaction provide coupling product. Especially, if you'll provide this reaction in Kumada conditions(Pd-catalysis).
