  • Addition of a Grignard Reagent to an Ester: Formation of a Tertiary Alcohol
    Addition of a Grignard Reagent to an Ester: Formation of a Tertiary Alcohol Introduction: Grignard reagents are important and versatile reagents in organic chemistry. In this experiment, you will prepare a Grignard reagent and react it with an ester to prepare a tertiary alcohol. Specifically, in this reaction you will prepare phenyl magnesium bromide from bromobenzene and magnesium metal and then react it with methyl benzoate to prepare triphenylmethanol (Figure 1). In this reaction, two equivalents of phenylmagnesium bromide add to methyl benzoate. Note: Grignard reagents are sensitive to water. ALL glassware must be completely clean and dry. Reagents have been stored over molecular sieves to keep them dry in storage, but you should also keep containers closed as much as possible. Finally, water in the air can also react with the Grignard reagents over time. To successfully prepare triphenylmethanol in this experiment, you will need to be well organized and not take too much time between steps. Figure 1. O 1) Me O OH Br Mg MgBr THF + 2) H3O triphenylmethanol Mechanism: The formation of Grignard reagents from aryl halides is a complex mechanism, which takes place on the surface of the magnesium metal. You do not need to concern yourself with the details of this step of the mechanism. Figure 2.

Of these so-called ‘privileged’ ligands,[1] one of the most successful class are the ferrocene-based Josiphos ligands A.[2] Numerous derivatives are known, obtained by varying the identity of R’ and R’’, and many are commercially available. This has aided the incorporation of A into many ligand screening exercises, often leading to a successful outcome.[3] In particular, in situ generated Josiphos-copper complexes have been applied Scheme 1.

  • Experiment 12 Grignard Reaction; Preparation of Triphenylcarbinol
    Experiment 12 Grignard Reaction; Preparation of Triphenylcarbinol In this experiment we will perform a Grignard addition to an ester. First we will form the Grignard reagent from magnesium and bromobenzene and then we will add it to methyl benzoate to produce triphenylcarbinol (also called triphenylmethanol). The overall sequence is shown in Figure 12.1 and the mechanism for the addition is shown in Figure 12.2. Figure 12.1 Grignard Addition to Methyl benzoate Br MgBr + Mg THF warm bromobenzene phenylmagnesium bromide O OMgBr OH C MgBr C C HCl OCH + MgBr(OH) 2 + 3 H2O methyl benzoate Triphenylcarbinol Since we are using an ester as our electrophile in this reaction, the nucleophilic Grignard reagent, prepared from the bromobenzene and magnesium, will add to the carbonyl two times to give the triphenyl adduct that on treatment with aqueous acid gives the free alcohol. Note that we have a ketone intermediate. This is even more reactive than the starting ester (why?) and reacts again with the Grignard reagent.

  • Schlenk Equilibrium in Toluene Solutions of Grignard Reagents
    SCHLENK EQUILIBRIUM IN TOLUENE SOLUTIONS OF GRIGNARD REAGENTS Ants Tuulmets*, Marvi Mikk and Dmitri Panov Institute of Organic Chemistry, University of Tartu, Tartu, EE2400 Estonia Abstract Grignard reagents were prepared from η-butyl chloride, η-butyl bromide and bromobenzene in toluene in the presence of small amounts of diethyl ether. The reagents disproportionate according to the Schlenk equilibrium with the formation of a precipitate rich in magnesium halide. The supernatant solution comprises higly soluble complexes of the stoichiometry xR2Mg.yMgX2.zEt20 (x>y). The extent of side-reactions during the formation of these Grignard reagents increases in the order nBuCI<nBuBr<PhBr. Introduction Organomagnesium compounds can be prepared not only in conventional ethers but also in hydrocarbon media or without any solvent at all [1-5]. For many purposes the replacement of ethers by hydrocarbons of higher boiling point is expedient. The process in hydrocarbons is preferable, since the reaction medium is cheap, nonhygroscopic, and fire hazards are low. The use of unsolvated organomagnesium halides is limited to primary alkyl and aryl compounds. Branched chain primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl halides, vinyl, allyl, and benzyl halides do not react under these conditions or produce Wurtz-type coupling products [2,6]. In the presence of one molar equivalent of complexing agents, e.g. ethers and tertiary amines, several organomagnesium compounds have been obtained in hydrocarbon media [5,7,8], Furthermore, alkylmagnesium bromide and chloride reagents in toluene containing less than one equivalent of diethyl ether have also been prepared [9-12]. Because the Grignard reagents in donor solvents are complexed at least with two solvent molecules per atom of magnesium, the reagents obtained in the presence of smaller amounts of donors should be considered as partially solvated.
