Abstract
Abstract The first phenylmagnesium carboxylates, C6H5MgOOCR·THF, have been made by reaction of phenylmagnesium bromide with the sodium salt of carboxylic acids [RCOONa {where R = CH3, ClCH2, Cl2CH, Cl3C, CH3CH2, (CH3)2CH, C6H5CH2 and CH3(CH2)3CH2}]. All these derivatives are white or pale yellow solids, soluble in polar solvents. The carboxylates have been characterized by elemental analysis, conductance measurements, and spectral studies (1H NMR and IR). The IR data suggest that carboxylate group acts as a bridging bidentate ligand.
