Abstract:
1. A process of preparing a Grignard Reagent of a formula RMX, the process comprising: electrochemically reacting an electrode comprising the M metal with a Grignard precursor having a formula RX in the presence of a non-aqueous electrolyte solution comprising a room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL), wherein: R is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, heteroalicylic, alkoxy, aryloxy, thioalkoxy, thioaryloxy, carboxy, thiocarboxy, carbamate, thiocarbamate, amide, thioamide, carbonyl, thiocarbonyl, urea, and thiourea; M is a metal suitable for forming a Grignard reagent; and X is halide, thereby preparing the Grignard Reagent.
