Catalyst-free reaction inserts carbon monoxide into magnesium alkyl bonds, indicating new pathways for compound synthesis.

Abstract

We describe the catalyst-free insertion of carbon monoxide (CO) into magnesium alkyl bonds, leading exclusively to enediolate compounds through C-C coupling. Computational investigations suggest a metallated ketene intermedate. Ultimately, the...
