The Preparation and Properties of Some Thienyl Butenols^1a

Mechanisms Of Epoxide Reactions

“…It is reasonable, therefore, that addition of an aryl anion should be easier than rearrangement. (79,113), methylmagnesium bromide and isopropylmagnesium bromide (113), and 2-thienylmagnesium bromide (90).…”

The Reaction between Grignard Reagents and the Oxirane Ring.

“…The physical constants of the butenol obtained in this work and that reported by Semeniuk and Jenkins are in sufficient agreement to justify the assumption that they are identical. With thienylmagnesium bromide the major product has been shown to result from "1,4-addition," but with athienylsodium the product is analogous to that obtained with a-naphthylmagnesium bromide (80).…”

Ethylene Oxides

“…1559 and a-thienylmagnesium bromide. 646 The nature of products secured in certain of these condensations, however, is still a matter of some conjecture at present.…”
