Phenylmagnesium bromide to phenyl?
« on: February 25, 2014, 12:08:13 PM »
How would you go from phenylmagnesium bromide, the grignard reagent
to just a phenyl group
(the product phenyl shows a deuterium in place of one of the hydrogens on the site of the MgBr)

ive tried adding things to the ring but there is always the extra carbon, I just need a phenyl group with deuterium left over, how do I get rid of the MgBr and add D

any hints? much appreciated
