- Abstract
The in situ Grignard Metalation Method (iGMM) is a straightforward one‐pot procedure to quickly produce multigram amounts of Hauser bases R2N‐MgBr which are valuable and vastly used metalation reagents and novel electrolytes for magnesium batteries. During addition of bromoethane to a suspension of Mg metal and secondary amine at room temperature in an ethereal solvent, a smooth reaction yields R2N‐MgBr under evolution of ethane within a few hours. A Schlenk equilibrium is operative, interconverting the Hauser bases into their solvated homoleptic congeners Mg(NR2)2 and MgBr2 depending on the solvent. Scope and preconditions are studied, and side reactions limiting the yield have been investigated. DOSY NMR experiments and X‐ray crystal structures of characteristic examples clarify aggregation in solution and the solid state.
