This invention concerns solid organometallic hydrocarbyloxymagnesium halides of the formula ROMgX wherein RO is a hydrocarbyloxy group of 1 to 20 carbon atoms and X is halide, and a two step process for making these halides comprising: (a) reacting an activated magnesium metal with an alkyl halide of the formula R min X, in which R min is compound containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms, in a dry inert hydrocarbon media, under a dry inert atmosphere to produce a compound of the formula R min MgX in which R min and X have the meanings ascribed to them herein; and, (b) and reacting the R min MgX compound with an oxygen containing compound, containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms, selected from the group consisting of alcohols, ketones, aldehydes and esters to produce the compound ROMgX. When the oxygen containing compound is 2-alkyl substituted, the products are hydrocarbon soluble. |
