Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy. The Configurational Stability of Primary Grignard Reagents. 3,3-Dimethylbutylmagnesium Chloride

Abstract

Detailed examination of the temperature dependence of the n.m.r. spectra of 3,3-dimethylbutylmagnesium chloride and bis(3,3-dimethylbutyl)magnesium indicates that inversion of configuration at the -CH_2Mg center occurs rapidly in ether solution at room temperature
