Related reactions | 1. Adding a certain amount of zinc chloride to Grignard reagent ethyl magnesium chloride and reacting with ketones can obtain high-yield tertiary alcohols and reduce side reactions. 2. Amantadanone is difficult to obtain the ideal alkylation effect only using ethylmagnesium chloride Grignard reagent, but this method can obtain the ideal alkylation product with high yield. In addition, adding lithium chloride to increase the yield by up to 81%. 2-alkyl-2-adamantanol is a very useful photoresistive material, so this method will be extremely useful in various fields. 3. Adding a certain amount of zinc chloride to Grignard reagent ethyl magnesium chloride can effectively promote the addition reaction of aldimine. |
