TL;DR: The Grignard metathesis (GRIM) polymerization of 3-alkylthiophenes proceeds by a quasi-living chain growth mechanism, not by a step growth process as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The Grignard metathesis (GRIM) polymerization of 3-alkylthiophenes proceeds by a quasi-“living” chain growth mechanism, not by a step growth process. Kinetic studies of the Grignard metathesis polymerization of 2,5-dibromo-3-alkylthiophenes showed that the molecular weight of poly(3-alkylthiophenes) is a function of the molar ratio of the monomer to nickel initiator, and conducting polymers with predetermined molecular weights and relatively narrow molecular weight distributions (PDIs = 1.2−1.5) can be made. Sequential monomer addition resulted in new block copolymers containing different poly(3-alkylthiophene) segments.

TL;DR: Using a modified Grignard metathesis (GRIM) reaction, a series of polymers have been synthesized bearing functional groups on one or both ends of the polymer as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: A simple method for the synthesis of end-functionalized regioregular poly(3-alkylthiophene)s is presented. Using a modified Grignard metathesis (GRIM) reaction, a series of polymers have been synthesized bearing functional groups on one or both ends of the polymer. This method has been demonstrated to work with a variety of different types of Grignard reagents (i.e., aryl, alkyl, allyl, vinyl, etc.). The reactivity of these depends on their nature, where allyl, ethynyl, and vinyl groups produced monofunctionalized polymers, and all others yielded difunctionalized polymers. The end group composition of the polymers was monitored by a combination of MALDI-TOF and 1H NMR and approaches 100% in most cases. By utilizing the proper protecting groups −OH, −CHO, and −NH2 groups have been incorporated onto the polymer ends. The main advantage of this method is that it allows for the in situ functionalization of regioregular polythiophene, generating a variety of end-capped polymers in one step. This approach is ad...

TL;DR: In this paper, a new procedure was developed for the synthesis of 3-ethylquinoxalin-2(1H)-one from o-phenylenediamine and ethyl 2-oxobutanoate.
Abstract: A new and effective procedure was developed for the synthesis of 3-ethylquinoxalin-2(1H)-one from o-phenylenediamine and ethyl 2-oxobutanoate. The latter was prepared by the Grignard reaction of diethyl oxalate with ethylmagnesium bromide or iodide. The ethyl group in 3-ethylquinoxalin-2(1H)-one can readily be converted into various functional groups: α-bromoethyl, α-thiocyanato, α-azidoethyl, α-phenylaminoethyl, acetyl, and bromoacetyl. The reaction of 3-(bromoacetyl)quinoxalin-2(1H)-one with thiourea and hydrazine-1,2-dicarbothioamide gives the corresponding 3-(2-amino-4-thiazolyl) derivatives.

TL;DR: In this article, a chemoenzymatic method for the asymmetric total synthesis of d-biotin starting from the commercially available cis-1,3-dibenzyl-2-imidazolidone-4,5-dicarboxylic acid has been developed.
Abstract: A practical chemoenzymatic method for the asymmetric total synthesis of d-biotin (1) starting from the commercially available cis-1,3-dibenzyl-2-imidazolidone-4,5-dicarboxylic acid (2) has been developed. The key step of the synthesis is the highly enantioselective hydrolysis of meso-dicarboxylic esters by a polymer-supported pig liver esterase and introduction of a formyl group at the C-4 position in 4 via a Grignard reaction. The polymer-supported PLE can be recovered quantitatively from the reaction mixture by simple filtration and reused without significant loss of activity.

TL;DR: In this article, two seco-theaspiranes with pronounced blackcurrant notes were synthesized by a synthetic sequence consisting of Grignard reaction, Lindlar hydrogenation, and cyclization followed by optional Pd-catalyzed hydrogenation.
Abstract: Two seco-theaspiranes with pronounced blackcurrant notes, 2-tert-butyl-5-methyl-2-propyl-2,5-dihydrofuran (7) and 2-tert-butyl-5-methyl-2-propyltetrahydrofuran (8), were synthesized by a synthetic sequence consisting of Grignard reaction, Lindlar hydrogenation, and cyclization followed by optional Pd-catalyzed hydrogenation. The sequence was modified for the synthesis of the oxygenated analogs 2-(2'-tert-butyl-5'-methyltetrahydrofuran-2'-yl)propan-2-ol (9) and 3-(2'-tert-butyl-5'-methyltetrahydrofuran-2'-yl)butan-2-one (10). The first modification featured trimethylsilyl ether protection and stepwise construction of the alkyne moiety necessitated by steric hindrance. In the second modification, a but-2-en-2-yl group was utilized as latent 3-hydroxybut-1-en-2-yl functionality, and the steric constraint around the tertiary hydroxy group was exploited to introduce a stereocenter by S N 2 ring closure. As for the parent compounds 7 and 9. the odor of the oxygenated secotheaspiranes was shifted towards a woody tonality. The like-diastereomer 9a even had a typical patchouli profile, and the enantiomers 10a and 10b differed significantly in their olfactory properties.

The chiral ligands 5 , 7 , and 9 were subjected to asymmetric diethylzinc addition to examine their effectiveness as chiral catalysts. Among these, chiral ligand 7 exhibited the highest enantioselectivity (88% ee).

TL;DR: The Grignard reaction of 2,4,6-tri(tert-butyl)phenylmagnesium bromide with zinc dichloride in THF yields monomeric bis[2.4, 6-tri[tert]-phenyl]zinc (1) as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The Grignard reaction of 2,4,6-tri(tert-butyl)phenylmagnesium bromide with zinc dichloride in THF yields monomeric bis[2,4,6-tri(tert-butyl)phenyl]zinc (1). Due to the steric demand of the tert-butyl groups 1 has a bent CZnC moiety and the boat-shaped aryl groups are in a staggered conformation. After the transmetallation of 1 with cesium in a solvent mixture of 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) and toluene (1,2-dimethoxyethane-O,O′)cesium [2,4,6-tri(tert-butyl)phenolate] (2) is isolated. A polymeric structure is formed in the crystalline state by linkage of these molecules via a Cs-O bond of the phenolate oxygen atoms and a η6-coordination of the aryl moiety of another molecule to the cesium cations. Furthermore, in the solid state the cesium cation completes his coordination sphere by bonds to a bidentate ether molecule and by close contacts to a tert-butyl group of a neighboring molecule.

TL;DR: The adenine analogue 12 exhibited moderate antiviral activity against the HCMV, and a new stereoselective synthesis of 6′‐branched Carbovir analogues was accomplished in this study.
Abstract: A new stereoselective synthesis of 6'-branched Carbovir analogues was accomplished in this study. The introduction of a methyl group in the requisite 6'(alpha)-position was carried out using an ester enolate alkylation (LHMDS, CH3I). The desired cyclopentenol 7 was synthesized via a Felkin-Anh-controlled Grignard addition and ring-closing metathesis using second-generation Grubbs' catalyst. The natural bases (adenine, cytosine) were efficiently coupled using a Pd(0) catalyst. When the synthesized compounds were examined for their activity against several viruses such as the HIV-1, HSV-1, HSV-2, and HCMV, the adenine analogue 12 exhibited moderate antiviral activity against the HCMV.

Abstract: Efficient Pauson-Khand reactions on quinolines bearing 1-en-7-ynes features gave tetrahydrocyclopenta[c]acridine derivatives. The quinoline intermediates were obtained in two steps: a Sonogashira reaction with functionalized alkynes (TMS, Bu, Ph, CHB 2 OTHP) followed by a Grignard reaction with allylmagnesium bromide. The sequence provides new acridine structures in four high yielding steps from commercially available quinolines.
