Synthesis of organometallic/organobimetallic compositions

摘要

A process for producing organometallic and/or organobimetallic compositions by reacting an organic halide, an alkali metal and magnesium halide in a liquid hydrocarbon solvent containing a limited amount of a Lewis base to produce a dialkyl magnesium compound or a dialkyl magnesium compound complexed with an alkali metal organic compound.
