RMgBr reacts normally with acylferrocenes to give the corresponding alcohols. RMgI gives good yields of the most highly substituted ferrocenyl ethylene. In solutions of moderate acid strength, α-ferrocenyl carbonium ions lose a proton to form the substituted alkene rather than undergo nucleophilic attack by water to give the corresponding alcohol. Since the alcohols are more basic than the alkenes, it is possible to devise a general synthesis of ferrocenyl ethylenes by the reaction of any Grignard reagent with an acylferrocene.

A method, the "competition method", for the determination of reduction potentials and estimation of standard potentials for short-lived radicals is reviewed. Applications of the reduction potentials of radicals as arguments for reaction mechanisms are presented for the Grignard reaction, the photoreduction of ketones with alcohols, and the SRN1 reaction. Reductions induced by hydroxide ions are discussed in more detail, and the classic reaction between nitrosobenzene and hydroxide ion in aqueous solution is used as an example of such a reaction. A nucleophilic attack by hydroxide ion rather than an electron transfer initiates the reduction sequence. A review with 26 references.

The reaction mechanism of the Cu+-catalyzed introduction of two all-carbon-substituted stereocenters in an ynamide system using a Grignard reagent, a zinc carbenoid, and an aldehyde, was investigated using density-functional theory. In contrast to the formation of an organocopper(I) compound and subsequent carbocupration reaction, previously postulated as the initial step, the reaction proved to instead proceed through an initial complexation of the substrate alkyne bond by the Cu+-catalyst, which primes this bond for reaction with the Grignard reagent. Subsequent addition of the zinc carbenoid then enables the nucleophilic attack on the incoming aldehyde, which is revealed as the rate-limiting step. Our computations have also identified the factors governing the regio- and setereoselectivity of this interesting reaction, and suggest possible paths for its further development

AbstractA hyperbranched conjugated polymer containing triphenylamine was prepared by the Grignard reaction of tris(4-bromophenyl)amine 1, via the coupling of N, N-bis(4-bromophenyl)-N-(4-bromomagnesiophenyl)amine 2 with the catalytic amount of Ni(acac)2. Grignard reagent 2 reacted as an AB2-type monomer to give hyperbranched conjugated polymer 3 in a one-step process. Polymer 3 was also obtained via the Pd-catalyzed coupling of N, N-bis(4-bromophenyl)-4-animobenzeneboronic acid 4. Polymer 3 had an average molecular weight of 4.0–6.3×103 and was found to be soluble in organic solvents such as THF and CHC13. A cast film had an anodic peak at 0.95–1.20 V vs. Ag wire. It was dark blue above the oxidation potential and brown-yellow in the neutral state. When polymer 3 was doped with iodine, its conductivity rose to 0.8–3.0 S/cm

2-Hydroxy-6-naphthoic acid is an main raw material for the synthesis of polyaromatic ester, it was synthesized from 2-Naphthol by methoxylation, bromization, grignard reaction and demethylation before recrystallization (C2H5OH:H2O=2.8:1 m/m) with an overall yield of 78.5% and content of 99.1%. Furthermore, the results showed that the 6-bromo-2-methoxynaphthalene was prepared using Sn as reducing agent with 96.2% of the yield which is higher than 6-bromo-2-methoxynaphthalene was prepared using solid carbon dioxide and grignard reagent with 23.8% of the yield.

Ferrocenylethylenes dissolve in 90% HCOOH to give solutions of the α-ferrocenyl carbonium ions in equilibrium with the unprotonated species. These subsequently react by an ionic-addition mechanism to give dimeric carbonium ions which can cyclize by both homo-and heteroannular pathways.
