Lamellar Compounds of Graphite with Grignard Reagents

摘要

A highly reactive form of magnesium, intercalated in graphite, was prepared by reducing magnesium halides with C8K in ether or benzene. Grignard reagents can be prepared from the graphite-trapped activated magnesium in practically quantitative yields in a fast reaction, even at low temperature and in non-ether solvents.
