Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The title benzyl Grignard reagent, [Mg₂Br₂(C ₇H₇)₂(C₄H₁₀O) ₂], was obtained by reaction of benzyl bromide with magnesium in diethyl ether, followed by crystallization from toluene. The asymmetric unit comprises one half-molecule, the structural dimeric unit being generated by inversion symmetry with an Mg⋯Mg distance of 3.469 (2) Å. The Mg(II) atom exhibits a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. The crystal packing is defined by van der Waals interactions only.
